    The most recent time was last year on February 2nd 2002 when crown prince Willem-Alexander married.
    Location: Asterdam, Dam Square, next to the Palace.

     Hi AT, That looks like a car I had in the early 60's. It was the worst piece of junk I ever had, and I didn't have it long. Except for those seats; they just kind of enveloped you. Nice pages.

     Such a long time since I was in Amsterdam - the city walk with a local sounds an ideal way to get to know the city all over again.

     Well I can certainly see that having visited for 5 days I still missed a great deal. I must return!!!
