This is a national celebration in the Netherlands every year on April 29th to commemorate the Queen’s Birthday. A million visitors arrive in Amsterdam for this fabulous day of street festivities, dancing and singing and all sorts of crazy fun!
Everyone wears the national colour ORANGE! Not my favourite colour by any means, so I was fortunate enough to be given an Orange Lei to wear around my neck so I fit in with the thousands of people there to partake. To ensure even more than my regular all day comfort with my YOU by crocs I left them at home and chose to wear my Crocs Melbourne’s in Hot Pink which I love!
We walked and walked for miles and miles and hours and hours stopping at the many “party” stations with stages, DJ’s, dancing, games, flea markets, it was an endless feast for the eyes and ears. There were characters left and right with people from all walks of life and nationalities from across the globe.
Being an avid recycler I had one water bottle for the entire day and refilled it at various stops along the way.
This was a dress down casual day for me but the Hot Pink Crocs and the Orange Lei meant my style still had an edge and pairing it with my tailored denim jacket meant I stayed warm and cool at the same time!
Happy Queen’s Day 
Always smiling!
