I was coming back from the store and was passed by 100 parking enforcement scooters.
These are the guys that everyone in Amsterdam who drives a car – hates.
Today they were rallying at the Stopera to protest the decision by the city to
cancel their contract and replace them with someone else. I’m not going to
say ‘pay-off’ but someone is not ‘greasing’ the right ‘wheel’
Danbo was there, then went swimming at the Hermitage.
Danbo can’t swim, so he ended up floating face down in the Amstel.
-
- Danbo can’t swim, but he tried. That’s why he’s all wet.
-
- The Blauwbrug and a saloonboat in the background, from the Hermitage dock
-
- Considering jumping into the Amstel… then did it.
-
- It’s a better view of the Amstel from up here on the boat pylon.
-
- Danbo loves culture, so he checks out the Hermitage
-
- Danbo found a weird tile glued to the Skinny bridge
-
- The view of the Hogesluis and Carre’ is great from up here.
-
- If you’re not careful, you’ll get run over by a bicycle.
-
- Magere means ‘Skinny’ and Brug means ‘bridge’
-
- If I stand on this bicycle, I can see the skinny bridge better.
-
- House-ships on the Amstel
-
- But what does it mean?
-
- The Stopera in the background
-
- Tarzan is now putting his skills to work in a new business venture.
-
- Danbo how many scooters are here. Hundreds.
-
- Every parking enforcement scooter in Amsterdam rallied at Stopera
-
- Parking enforcement scooters meeting to talk to AT5, the local TV news show.
-
- Cition manager talking to AT5 TV news crew.
