“Don’t get on the ferry now, let the other people go off first. That’s how we do it in Amsterdam”. Substitute bus, metro, train or tram for ferry and it would still be a lie. But oh how we like to get self righteous with tourists. And since Sail 2010 is about to start, there are more of them than usual. Imagine what it would be like if the Olympics or Worldcup is ever held here….
Not just tourists, the city is also packed full with tall ships, boats and anything that floats. An incrdibly festive atmosphere, despite the not too nice weather. Five years ago, when we first moved into our current house Sail was on as well and that made for some great nights wandering around the IJ looking at all the ships moored off. Sadly S. will have to miss it this year…
The wedding is on and the date is set for next Tuesday. Everything went so easy it’s getting spooky. This time next week I’m a husband (!)
