Canal life

Now this is living. A waterside frontage with the passing parade of Amsterdam life. I just can't understand Jan, not appreciating water life.

You know you're alive when you walk the streets of Amsterdam, though. If you dont watch out for those cyclists, they'll clean you up. 

There are 600, 000 cycles in the town. Everyone rides here. Not necessarily all that well. Might have seent wo people wearing helmets.

We visited the science museum, NEMO, and the new library, to take in the views of the city that they offered.

There goes another tourist barge. Bloody tourists. You get sick of waving at them. But it obviously makes their day, poor sods.

The blokes in the little boat had their wits about them. A BBQ going and a well stocked esky.

We are growing a little concerned about the tolling of the bell that is occurring with monotonous regularity. Every quarter hour. We hope it stops around 9:30 so we can get some shut eye.
