Zandhoek

When we have put our car in the weekends on our secret free parking place in Amsterdam, we walk along these beautiful old houses at the "Zandhoek" ( Sand Corner). The street, in fact a quay, derives its name to the ships discharching sand here in the 17th century.

In the Zandhoek has lived a famous dutch photographer Jacob Olie (1834-1905) who made beautiful B&W photo's of the old Amsterdam.

    always good to have a secret parking spot in the city... here we didnt really find one yet.

  3. Now you have me very curious as to how one gets a free parking space in Amsterdam. No wonder it's a secret!
