The houseboat “Rumah Saya” is a motor tjalk located at the intersection of Keizersgracht and Amstel. This historic vessel, built in 1893, measures approximately 16.7 meters in length and 3.7 meters in width. ⛵

In Indonesian, rumah saya literally means “my house” (rumah = house, saya = I/my). In Malay, it has the same meaning. 🇮🇩🇲🇾🏠

The houseboat is situated in a prime location, close to the “National Opera”, “Koninklijk Theater Carré”, “Museum De Hermitage”, and the “Magere Brug”. 📸

The white building on the left is the facade of the third oldest bar in town. It first opened in 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ and it’s still there. For over 15 years, a sign behind the windows read: “Not for sale or rent.”💰🤷🏻‍♂️

And yet, dozens, maybe even hundreds of people dropped a note in the mailbox, hoping to take over the legendary Amsterdam café Brandon. In vain…🧾😥

The old proprietors, the Brandon family, lived above the establishment, and as long as they were alive, it would remain closed. 🔒

The café is located at Keizersgracht (corner of Leliegracht), on the edge of the Jordaan. 🍺 🍷

The Market Gate, Elbląg, Poland

Built in the 14th century as one of nine gates in the city’s now-defunct fortifications, the building is one of the most valuable and recognizable buildings in Elbląg. The 26-meter-high Market Gate can be admired from the outside, and in the summer season (from May to September) you can also go inside. It is definitely worth doing so, as a viewing terrace was built in its upper part, from which there is a beautiful panorama of the Old Town.

Church Path, Elbląg, Poland

It is a narrow passage between reconstructed tenement houses and connects two streets of the Old Town – Holy Spirit Street and Bridge Street. Its name comes from the two churches it once connected – Dominican and St. Nicholas. In the Middle Ages, it was used by the faithful and monks to move faster from one church to another.

The entire passage of the Elbląg Church Path is bulging with 10 Gothic, strutted and two-level arches. Its route once led from the Old Town to the gate of the former Dominican Church (today Galeria El). It was slightly longer then. The part leading to the monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary was unfortunately destroyed. The fragment of the Church Path that survived is now one of the original and few preserved medieval elements in the Elbląg Old Town. The rest was devastated during World War II.
