I'd rather naively thought that spending the May bank holiday weekend in Amsterdam would be relaxing. Instead, we arrived right in the middle of the Queen's Day celebrations, which had turned the usually neat streets into heaving rivers of rubbish. Our long yomp to the hotel saw us wading though countless millions of cans, bottles, plastic glasses and orange decorations. Happily, those decorations included balloons. Thousands still hung from buildings, thousands lay as tattered rubber rags on the street. This one was caught between the two, a situation that I can't imagine lasted long.
