My twin sister (Claire) and her husband (Neil) flew in at the weekend to be dragged around Amsterdam for a couple of days. We sent them back to Schiphol on Sunday night with grazed elbows from roller blading round Vondelpark and bruised bottoms from having to sit on the back of our bikes. Unfortunately all the cycle hire shops had signs outside saying 'Sorry - No More Bikes' (a peak-season problem) so they had to make do with the less comfortable option of hitching a lift. I'm very proud of my newfound ability to balance a bike with two people on it. This was a skill that developed slowly after around an hour of wobbling precariously towards cars and trams. I'm surprised Claire was brave enough to keep getting back on.
The roller blading demanded a similar amount of bravery, especially from poor Neil who had never worn skates of any kind before. We all managed to make it round Vondelpark in one piece though and had lots of fun in the process.
