At the Market

The Albert Cuyp Market in Amsterdam is a daily market with vegetables, fish, clothes, flowers and many other things. I used to live here around the corner long ago and came by every day. When I am now in Amsterdam I can't resist a tour over the market.

The herring stall, a typical dutch treat.

There is always something exotic,  cactus figs.

Here you can buy old furcoats or fleeces.

These corsets are handbags!

And more handbags.

  5. Those are some wild items to find at a market. I'd love to be there to take part in the shopping. Not sure I'd be interested in the sheep head. And the bags are just a bit wild. Sure would draw attention, however.
