Walking on Water

Our tram did not turn up this morning so we had to catch the metro to the Nieuwmarkt station, and there was a bit of a walk into the shopping area we were aiming for.  Fortunately this took us past one of the most stunning sights so far this week- a completely frozen over canal that was covered in ice skaters.  We hopped down onto the ice and walked along the canal for a few hundred metres, even going under one of the bridges.  It seems that this is a pretty rare event and we're very lucky to be here at this time to experience it.
