From this picture you might get the impression that I spend most of my summer days on Amsterdam’s canals. That’s not true though. What is true, is that I’ve not been on canal boats so often as this year, but Hanno and I were not actually on a canal boat when I took this picture. We were on a ferry that took us from the back of Central Station to EYE, the new film museum and cinema in an amazing building which you can see on the left in this picture.
The weather was great and we actually sat outside at EYE before the film started, sipping beers and catching up. The film we did see was a Chilean road movie about a couple that traveled on the endless south to north road in the narrow Latin American country. I liked the film quite a lot (but then again, films about endless journeys typically fascinate me) but Hanno was less impressed, I think. He loved the building though (it was his first visit to EYE) and it was great seeing him again. We’ll be visiting London in October so it was also good to anticipate on that trip already. A very nice evening indeed!
