Amsterdam's missing markets.

My pre-trip research indicated three flea/antique markets on Sundays here in Amsterdam, I was disappointed to find only one and that was a tiny effete art affair at Spui patronised by very few people. The good thing was I found the flower market en route to the arty mart, I bought some rare bulbs to enhance my spring planting. With my market exploring curtailed I put away the map and went exploring wherever looked interesting and believe it got away from most of the tourists, had some divine cake and coffee - god my tastes are changing! After all that walking I retired to the front of my hotel with a beer for some extended people watching and tonight I dined at a little Italian restaurant complete with beautiful Italian waitresses, I may have to go back again tomorrow.
Tomorrow the plan is the Rijksmuseum for a little Rembrant therapy then on to the antique shops on a bargain hunt.
