A little video-experiment. I think the water has quite a hypnotising effect, don’t you think? The soundtrack is by Cibo Matto by the way. Please put the player on 480 p for maximum effect.

Tag: Canals
Prinsengracht, Amsterdam 3:45
Yesterday, when I came from the ABC I walked by this nice colourful little houseboat.
A long time ago I got an offer to rent a houseboat in Amsterdam. Since it was only short-term, I didn’t do it. And besides that, I am not really a houseboat person. I am not really a boat person as a matter of fact. A houseboat usually is too close to the street, so you get a lot of noise from traffic passing by. And a lot of boats with drunk students or tourists passing by your window. So basically I don’t see the fun of living on a houseboat.

Boats in a row
Amsterdam, 12:30 pm
No, this is not a part of the gay canal parade. I took this picture this afternoon while taking a stroll with my girlfriend who has just returned from her holiday. We had a lot of catching up to do. The boat in the front is towing the other ones. I thought it was a funny site. Notice the waves on the water: a moment later it started to rain.

Cruising in Delft
Daily Webhead: Cruising in Delft from Mike's Webs on Vimeo.Delft, Sunday 12:00 pm
When we were in Delft, we went for a tour of the canals. A bit silly and cliché, but then again, you learn some nice stuff about the history of the place.
By the way, this will be the last blog-post about my trip to Delft. From tomorrow, it will be Daily Webhead as usual.
