How many people drown in Amsterdam's canals?

Amsterdam has 165 canals — with a total length of 100 km (60 miles).

If you add the rivers and lakes, a quarter of Amsterdam consists of water.

Each year more than 100 people end up in the water.

In most cases, there is no permanent damage.

Scattered rain showers in Amsterdam this morning. The St. Nicholas basilica set against a cloudy sky, with a rainbow

Amsterdam Central Station is seen from across the #River IJ on a somewhat hazy day.

#DailyPictureTheme .

Built in the 1880’s the station rests upon 8,687 wooden pilings rammed 30 meters into the sandy soil — a necessary building technique anywhere in Amsterdam.

Yesterday my wife and I had "High Tea" at the smallest house in Amsterdam. The house, built in 1738, is 29 square meters (312 square feet).

Nowadays Het Kleinste Huis (The Smallest House) serves as a tea shop:

One of the best ways to get around Amsterdam is on a bike.

I haven't heard this obscure single in quite some time, but like it every time it comes around.

The song was included in the soundtrack for the Brazilian soap opera "Selva de Pedra" (1972). Go figure.

A daily sight at the fish auction in Blanes: fishing boats juggling for position to unload their catch. Next, most boats return to sea.

And yes, we're having a day of rain and thunder. Wonderful to experience from our vantage point (with coffee and croissants on hand).

"Elon Musk? Nah. I blocked that plonker long ago."

(Not overheard. Just two ladies chatting on a bench in Blanes, overlooking the Mediterranean)
