I played Google Maps :-)

I thought I'd play a bit of Google maps today by photographing my journey to Victoria Square. It starts after I crossed the street.



Past a restaurant that sells foie gras (BAD!)

Crossing Pirie street.

In to the tunnel. The entrance of this tunnel is actually behind the white car in the picture above.

Out of the tunnel. I hate that pillar. It's so in the way there. It's just too much in the way. So stupid.



Past the church.



And there is Victoria Square.

That's the old post office.

Crossing the street in to the park.



The fountain with on the left the absolutely beautiful Aboriginal flag.

Todays destination, ready for action.

Lunch. Matar paneer and channa masala. Oh, and a paratta.

Fire trucks driving around as usual.

Lunch view. It was nice and sunny, which was surprising because there were lots of clouds. It had rained during the morning even.

On my way back I went in to the candy store.

Back to the office I experienced a "moment in Amsterdam".

Glory.

In the elevator to see my dentist. I took the morning off.

After the dentist concluded there was nothing that needed fixing I leisurely walked to work. I discovered a new toy shop. I don't care what you think, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Lego. I'd have children just so we can play with Lego together. Well, not really.

Sheep clouds during lunch.

I bought a Indian / Pakistani concoction called "biryani". I had mine with chicken. I told my Indian colleagues it was a bit dry. They laughed and told me it is usually combined with another dish that has sauce. We'll mix-it-up next time.

The weather was fantastic. Lots of people came to the park. It's so relaxed.

You can't let a day like this fade away without enjoying it at least a little bit so after work, instead of turning right - home, we turned left - to the beach.

Henley beach of course - my favorite.

We were just in time for the sun set.

It was beautiful.

It is I.

It is the jetty.

It is just fantastic.

Lunch in the park with other people.

Lunch.

In the park.

With other people.

The Matrix. Starring: Vincent Koopman!

A new moped hero emerged this morning riding a mountain bike fitted with a very small petrol engine and he was wearing a motor-cross helmet...

I walked the last bit to work. Just following the other drones.

Lunch in the sun at the fountain.

With lots of other people. I say 'lots' but for Amsterdam standards this is empty.

I was looking for secret agents.

Victoria square towards the South.

Victoria square towards the North.

Fully intentionally we ended up at Henley beach after work.

And fully intentionally we ended up a a fantastic Greek restaurant we been to 7 years ago on our first holiday here. They impressed us again.

Hello

Walking to work this morning.

Waiting for the lights at "the horsie".

Lunch in the sun.

When I walked back a fire truck came to say hi to me :-)

The Borg Computer.

This parked next to us this morning, in front of the lights.

The air outside is crispy but when dressed properly, sitting in the sun is a joy, even in the winter.

There's always some form of lunch entertainment.

Apart from Nicole her new macbook being very powerful, it also looks really good. When the surroundings get a bit darker, it turns on lights under the keys.

PS: The reason it's so green is because of a lamp, it's actually alumin-i-um
