At this point I started a walk around the Platage neigbhourhood...

Reason: Benefiting from the good sunny weather by walking and driving my bicycle.
Plantage Plantage is a neighbourhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands located in its Centrum borough. It is bordered by the Entrepotdok to the north, Plantage Muidergracht to the east and south and Nieuwe Herengracht to the west. In the centre of the neighbourhood lies the Natura Artis Magistra zoo. It had a population of 1,980 in 2017.
The area came within Amsterdam city limits after the completion of the fourth large urban expansion of 1663. Due to an economic crisis caused by the Rampjaar events, the city government could not find enough buyers for the land. Construction in the area, which was then called Plantagie or Plantaadje, stagnated as a result. Instead, pleasure gardens and orchards were built where Amsterdam's citizens could go and relax in green surroundings.
The plots of land in the neighbourhood were leased by the city for a period of 20 years (with the possibility of a 10-year extension). This was because the city council intended to sell the parcels later on; permanent buildings were therefore not allowed. Temporary buildings were tolerated. In 1682, Hortus Botanicus, one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, opened its doors across from the Wertheimpark, currently the only public park in the Centrum district of Amsterdam.
Ommetje: My 2093th Ommetje (walk) was a three kilometers walk in 48 minutes with the route: Plantage Muidergracht - Overloopplantsoen - Hortus Botanicus - Wertheimpark - Plantage Doklaan - Entrepôtdok - Kazerne - Alexanderkade.
Mind the Cat: When looking at the bottom of the photo you can see a red stubborn tomcat who didn't even care less that I was busy taking this selfportrait.
Weather: Mostly sunny but partly cloudy, 12° C
To Listen ♫: StanV - Morning Dusk (Extended Mix) (Youtube)
Self-portrait technics: Joby portable gorillapod on the front basket of my bicycle.
