I stayed in Sas and Steve’s room during a January rainy and snowy couple of days, however, this house’s rooftop made the grimy weather seems magical.
I remember that early evening I got on the rooftop to smoke a little, after that thin rain stopped, the sky cleared up, and the area became extremely quiet.
Looking around I could see boat houses covered with a little snow, reflecting their lights on the Amstel river. I could also see plenty of old Amsterdam houses with their high ceilings, creative styles and lights lit up. Then all of a sudden, Churches’ bells started ringing from different directions in harmony.
It felt like I was transported into
January something, 1800s
- unexpectedly magical!
