Last week, I skated in Holysloot and Randsdorp, close to Amsterdam.

Almost every Amsterdam local dreams about skating on the ice on the canals at least once in his or her life.

It was almost possible in Amsterdam, until a stupid Meijers rondvaartboten captain (who didn’t know the Keizersgracht was closed off) destroyed the ice.

It’s a hot topic on the Amsterdam Centraal blog. Even the Skipper replied, and apologizes on the website! Very funny to read (in Dutch)
