This is a bruin cafe which are famous in Amsterdam for their dark interiors, and close, gezellig atmosphere. It was two level, and I looked out over the bar, where two older gentleman were holding court and opinionating loudly with ales in their hand, while their wives sat on a bench behind them, drinkless, and looking rather bored.
The little shops that are all over Amsterdam remind me so much of those mysterious and intriguing closed shop doors on Main Street at Magic Kingdom. They hint of fascinating objects and hidden back rooms, but the door is always closed, never to slake your curiosity.
Looking out the bus window onto a pastel sunset and farmland thick with geese.
