I don`t know about you, but I am a big fan of Summer. Not only because the nice temperatures allow for all kind of outdoor activities, but also because the city gets emptier.

So it has been a total delight to meet my friend Laura – from United Colors of Amsterdam – last weekend and have brunch together at Small World, the healthy food place on Binnen Oranje Straat in Haarlemmerbuurt.

Whereas on a normal day this street (and the entire neighbourhood) would have been extremely crowded, on that particular occasion it was very quiet, so quiet that we could actually watch people, hear them talking, see what they were doing and take photos of them – all while enjoying delicious food and drinks!

I hope this weekend Amsterdam is going to be just as easy going! 🙂
