The Netherlands

I headed for Gatwick Airport on July 28th. After being searched for terrorism, and passing through security twice, I boarded my EasyJet flight to the capital of freedom.

The reason it has been taking so long to let you know about the experience is that I began writing a long story to accompany the photographs. I am fed up of writing so for now will just post the photographs with captions.

A couple of interesting highlights were fashion week and bumping into my old Jr High / High School friend Ali on the street. All in all, a great trip.
