...of getting about. After taking this, I discovered that it was not some training exercise but a real tragedy — a man had dived from the pier to try to save his apparently-drowning dog. In the end it was he who drowned. I never found his name, but rest in peace sir.

Possibly the lowest navigable bridge on the main canals, this leads through to a quiet almost lake-like pool. It's alongside the building which was apparently the progenitor of the squatting movement. Seen from one of the traditional boats that are restored and used for excellently relaxed, go-where-you-like tours arranged by the independent volunteers from the comedy bar at the corner of Leidseplein. www.amsterdamboatclub.com

This friendly-feeling old houseboat is cunningly tucked away in a bit of a less-travelled part of Amsterdam's waterways :)

(Imaginative title, huh? I was in a hurry...)

This lagoon is where Barnes Wallace's dam-busting "bouncing bomb" was tested.

Apparently holder of a speed record for going round the world. But don't quote me on that. It certainly looked fast.

It's been reported elsewhere, and I don't want to write too much here until legal proceedings against the owner and captan are completed, but in short, a group from our humanitarian aid convoy, including myself, were kidnapped! Here we see one of the lifeboats of the vessel on which we were held. Photo also published elsewhere, and taken with Anwar's camera (hence the EXIF data) but please note, always © Kieran Turner.

The Greek "MIA" commandos. These guys were brilliant. Because, of course, they didn't immediately understand what was going on, they treated us and the crew (the kidnappers) equally. This was reassuring and just what we wanted. And in marked contrast to the mostly (though not entirely) rather unpleasant Greek police who hugged the captain, wore no uniforms, and told us they didn't have to (and should not!) show us any identification.

The commandos had shouted to us to let down a rope ladder to their Zodiac, so that they could board safely. The captain shouted to the crew to stop us, which they did with some violence. About half an hour later, presumably either realising the severity of his position, or attempting to appear co-operative, he ordered the crew to let down the very same ladder!
