Every year on April 30 we celebrate our gueen's birthday. Actually she is born on January 31 but when she took over from her mother she decided that her moms birthday will remain Queensday (also cause of the weather I suppose).
Its a day all citizens dont have to work (some off course need to work...) and lots of people go to the centre of their towns.
So did we. We went to the centre of Amsterdam where a huge crowd was celebrating on squares and in some streets. Because our national colour is Orange a lot of people were dressed in that colour. The inner city was free of traffic and public transport was free to use.
It was a great day and here some impressions.
(for the gay friends: there is a special gay queensdaysite: https://www.queensdayamsterdam.eu/gayguide/ )




This is cool too.
