Goodness, am I still going?

Here is the Bloemenmarkt. It's a flower market based on barges moored on the canal. As you can see they all have canalside entrances anyway, so although it's technically a floating market, it's not quite up to Far Eastern standards.

I bought a couple of gifts for family and friends of family here. Mostly unusual coloured tulips in tins or china clogs. Too heavy to post, which is why you got none.

Note the Christmas Store to the right. It was gorgeous, but over-plastered with "Don't Touch!" signs. I'm sure it's a real problem with kids in the high season, but it put me off buying. Also we have no real Christmas fanatics in my family. Still, I was tempted to get something for Secret Santa.
