Day 2 (actually meant to post yesterday but forgot) was a different day as we spent the day running around physically and on trains doing challenges against friends to gain points

We very briefly visited Utrecht and Leiden and bits of Amsterdam for food but that was it honestly!

Third day and final full day in The Netherlands started off more chill with popping to Leiden for a bit of a wander with some friends, then off to Zaanse Schans to walk some more around lots of Windmills!
Then due to disruption we couldn’t finish our plans so we just wandered around Amsterdam 😁

Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt.

The late great George Harrison

A superb album full of top tunes, including the anthemic ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’.

I remember watching this performance of it on their rockumentary ‘The Kids Are Alright’ and being completely blown away by it.

No great transformation has ever been carried out so quietly. This one took place in armchairs, in #Libraries ..

in the the 18th c huge numbers of people began to #Read.

Commercial flights to #Beijing did not fly over Soviet airspace but hopped across the Mediterranean and the Gulf States, stopped in the Indian subcontinent, then flew the last lap up over the #Himalayas
