Amsterdam Gay Pride 2006

Since this blog seems to get moreand more international visitors I'll go back to writing in English. Please excuse me bad skills in this language. Also this is quiet some work, so please let me know what you think by leaving a comment or two. Cheers!

On to the main topic, the Amsterdam Gay Pride 2006...
As there are hardly any big streets in the center of Amsterdam where a parade could be held, people use hundrets of boats and party in the canals. The parade began at Westerdok, moved down Pinsengracht, through the Amstel river back to a place near the Centraal Station called Oosterdok.

After the big parade partys were all over the city. The most prominent places were probably Reguliersdwarsstraat, the Homomonument and the Leidseplein.

And now on to a few more photos...
