Dinking

Dinking has long been banned where I grew up in Australia. Since I was a teenager I think. So it remains one of the quainter Amsterdam practices that I'll miss when we get back to Melbourne. There's nothing quite like being dinked home over the canal bridges on the Reguliersgracht to Ronnie's tuneless-but-fabulous "Tulpen van Amsterdam" warmed by a couple of extraneous jenever's.

Als de lente komt dan stuur ik jou Tulpen uit Amsterdam Als de lente kom pluk ik voor jou Tulpen uit Amsterdam

PS. Of course from a practical point of view there's a few other problems-with-this-picture in Melbourne. The distances from A to B, the hills and the lack of canal bridges just to mention a few.
