Luxembourg here we come..

Slight change in the train timetable, but we are currently on a Thales highspeed train (1st class of course), breakfast and wifi is provided in 1st class. I'll update this entry with some photos soon of Amsterdam.

Some useless information about Amsterdam;

  • Population 750,000
  • 1,000,000 bikes
  • Canels are 3 mtr's deep
  • 1 mtr of the canel is full of bikes
  • Canels are dredged every 3 months for bikes (this bit is true anyway)
  • Locks are closed during the night 3 times a week to flush the canels
  • Approx. 3000 house boats are permanently moored.
  • Houseboat toilets do discharge into the canel (Important..always reel in your fishing line before flushing, not sure Catherine fully appreciated this advice when I called out to her at the time)



I assume there is a boat attached to the rope, fuel tank and outboard motor

This one might have a faulty bilge pump
