World Port Days

Port as in Harbour, not port as in utterly sweet wine. It's World Port Days in Rotterdam, formerly the world's biggest harbour (based on what?). As it was actually one big display of men trying to act tough and show off their big boats and water canons and other boaty stuff, we weren't too interested.

At night we went to the "Night of the Cape"; the Cape here stands for the "Kaap", or Katendrecht, an area in Rotterdam near de river. For an appropraite description of this quite curious little festival of sailor songs, hookers and moustaches, I refer to One Day Like This's blip, who so nicely decided to blip me (for which I return the favour).
