Boat Trip

It's been ages since I blogged. Since I last wrote we've had a month-long heatwave where Amsterdam basked in the sun and since then a return to the more commonplace grey drizzly weather. Back in the scorching July days we took a trip out on our friends' (Ton and Alice) boat around the lovely Amsterdam canals, taking in the City from a different angle. We sailed out to the North where there was a safe spot to tie up the boat and jump off the side for a cooling dip. When I say 'safe' I mean that the likelihood of meeting a rusting bike (or perhaps the odd corpse?) was more minimal than in the City centre.
