Queensday 2005

I think Queensday (April 30th) in Amsterdam is the party of the year in The Netherlands. Somehow everybody goes crazy; they get dressed up in whacky orange outfits (it's the the national color) and party from the evening of the 29th until early moning May 1st at street parties in about every street in the city center. Even the canals are crowded with boats packed with dancing orange partypeople.



If you ever plan to visit Amsterdam... try to be there on April 30th. You won't believe your eyes, seeing everyone go crazy when celebrating Queen Beatrix.
