    S*** HAS THERE BEEN a massive fault upthrust off to the side of the A30 not been on the news … probably BREXIT more newsworthy than a 3,000 m upthrust, good job not nearer to coast as there would have been a tsunami that wiped out WALES …………….




    LOL

    BARS SHOPS HISTORIC BUILDINGS and they have a massive exhibition centre twice the size of London's / Birminghams biggest very close to the town centre / docks sea front whatever.. been there a couple of times to make a delivery … it is a nightmare driving, although very "organised" cars v trams v a million bikes … first time I missed the turning TOWARD THE LOADING BAY …. and had a 1 mile detour to get back missed again … luckily had a phone number for the loading bay manager! told me to drive to a spot .. he was instructing me on phone … and stop with flashers going … 2 mins later this young lady taps on window and climbs in " sheeeeitite I didn't order this … [ AMSTERDAM IS FAMOUS FOR ] … John Im Marcia drive to that corner and turn left … blah blah blah .. 3 mins later were at the point where I had previously screwed up ...that's driving of course .. she said go across the tracks turn left and up the slope … there you easy …
    note
    you approached on a 4 lane each way section of road, turning left was a straight bit of road for 50 m ahead was a 3 track tramway beyond a cycle way instead of going left along the road i went on twice [ wrong] you drive toward the cycleway and a red light after 10 20 secs goes amber … [ it can sometimes take a minute or so as it gives access across the tramway as well which is why the light was amber … time to cross before next tram! ] you don't leave this way by the way it comes out where the girl climbed in ….

    Well we all know what this place is famous for but crikey it’s absolutely one of the most stunningly beautiful cities I have ever been to.
    I’m the last man standing now - all my mates have flown back home.
    I’ve got 3 hours before my own flight - to Hungary - Budapest awaits, but I feel very sad to leave here.
