30 April 2001 Crowds fill the streets all day as part of Queensday 2001, Amsterdam.
30 April 2001 And you thought the crowds on the streets were crowded today - check out the canals. And of course, congestion is at it's peak in many of the small junctions in Amsterdam's canal system.
Grab a beer from the nearest bar (or stranger), sit back and enjoy. Best of all - no one even seemed phased by this, not a hint of 'canal rage'.
30 April 2001 Here come the Vikings in their traditional, erm, long? Square? Erm... I think this is the foundation for a houseboat with an outboard strapped on!
30 April 2001 More canals full of crowded boats. You notice even the smoke is Orange?
30 April 2001 This really has to be seen to be believed.
Mad partygoers cram boats of all shapes and sizes. Some like to 'hang out' in junctions like this and motor in circles for a while. Who cares about the mayhem than ensues? Actually no-one, and the crowd looking on just listen to the music pumping out of all these vessels and love it.
