Amsterdam

I have post-vacation-depression-syndrome.

If this is not a psychological or whatever term already considered by professionals in the matter, maybe I should patent it. Have you suffered from this too?

My symptoms: 

I don’t want to get on the train back. 

I most certainly don’t want to go to work on Monday. 

When I close my eyes, I only see Amsterdam’s Houses. 

I’m thinking about retiring in Amsterdam.

I just want to continue taking pictures. 

I dream about being on holiday forever. 

Do you know if this feeling will go away? 

I really can’t read maps that well; somehow I always get confused. And this is funny because my dad is a pilot and when I was a kid, I remember he would drive anywhere with those big old foldable maps (that people used to put in their back pocket), with all the little blue, red and yellow lines and asked my mum to hold it for him in the passenger seat. No “turn left on the next street” or “recalculating” coming out of that paper… He knew where to go. He was and still is the “map man” to me. 

With Google maps I always have to see where the blue dot points, so I know if I have to keep straight, turn around or go left or right. When I get to a new place, I look like a ballerina spinning to the blue dot’s direction. If my dad would have seen me in Amsterdam, surely he would have laughed. 

Anyway, during these days, the map was just a reference. If it said that I needed 5 minutes walking, I took me around one hour. Why? Well for two reasons mostly:

When you want to cross a street in Amsterdam, you don’t just have to be careful with the cars, but also with the bikes; so crossing the street needed full concentration: you had to look to both sides, see if cars or bikes were coming and calculate whether you had to run or wait for your chance to cross. 4 seconds, 15 seconds, depending on the bikes…

And because you had to look at both sides of the street, I usually found something I wanted to photograph right at the middle or at the end of the opposite direction I had to go. So I just went there.

Eventually, all the spots I wanted to see, using Mr. Google as my guide, turned into a one hour “go around here, look at that there…” that usually made my smart watch a little crazy, too.

In four days, I experienced the best of Amsterdam’s spring unpredictable weather: I had a cloudy, rainy and cold day, wind on my four days there (I was actually happy to have brought my hat with me) and warm sunrays to light up my pictures and make the chase of light way more fun. 

On my last afternoon in Amsterdam, I had the perfect frame: impeccable blue sky and my favourite view looking back at me. I remember standing there, feeling every muscle and bone from my legs down. Like the weight of all the miles I walked started to rest on my heels, my calfs were asking me to sit down for a bit but I just wanted to imprint this view in my memory and in my heart forever.

I stood there for another hour. I didn’t want to leave.

As I was exchanging pictures and impressions with my best friend from my daily expeditions, she said to me: “it sounds like a dream come true”. Buaahh… She nailed it.

1.045 pictures (and videos) between my phone and my camera were made in these four days. And if I had a film camera, I would have taken the exact amount of pictures. I loved discovering through my viewfinder all the beauty that was waving back at me.

There is a before and after this trip to Amsterdam. Something changed and changed me. I’m still trying to find the right words for it, but I can tell you, I will definitely go back when I can.
