Images of the flower market, so many bicycles, cheese, canals, clogs and stencilled picture of the dog on the pavement with ''in der groot'' written beside.

Of all the things to be puzzled about I was puzzled by how people managed to get their furniture into some of the wonderful apartments given their extremely narrow doorways/closes.
