Amsterdam's been Tangoed!


Well we've slept our last night on a train. I say slept - given the shoogeliness of my bunk and the drunk Danish blokes next door, sleep was in short supply. The morning brought us to Amsterdam, which is celebrating Queen's Day today. This seems to involve the whole country closing down, everyone dressing up in orange and wandering round town for a big hoolie. Finding ourselves in a great big party was fun. Unfortunately, they'd closed down left luggage along with everything else, so we had to make do with donning orange and taking a boat trip (the one tourist attraction we could reasonably do with a muckle great rucksack). Now on the ferry to Newcastle, I think I'm in the finishing straight...
