Amsterdam was fabulous. Cuter than our dog and much cuter than our kids. A wonderful combination of history and modern funkyness. A very liberal society too by the look of things.
Alas, we only had one night there before swapping the gentle elegance of Amsterdam for what looks like the suburban concrete of the Hague at the World Forum.
In Amsterdam, we noticed how dense the population was and how comfortable people seemed to be living virtually in other people's laps. In the pubs and cafes, out on the front steps of apartment buildings - every square inch of space is used and people live with each other in what looked like a very civilised way. We imagine this will be significant when we start looking at housing projects tomorrow.
It is literally and metaphorically a world away from Western Australia here.
On a culinary note, I recommend the soup here and Vaughan likes the Argentinian steaks. Glenn prefers the canal boat rides to everything.
I'm with Glenn on the canal boat rides. I couldn't get enough of them. Can't wait to hear your observations on Dutch aged care.
