Cyclists queue for Utrecht's world-famous bicycle toilet. Not that you can see the signs, or even the toilet doors - you had to be there, really. |
We visited the statue to Miffy (or Nijntje, as she's known in the original Dutch). L to R: Miffy, Ann, Marina, Robert, Lars. See also www.miffy.org (Photo: Ned) |
 Ann, Ned, Marina, Lars, with nattily-clad Miffy. |
 Ned (making the sign of the Rabbit), Marina, Lars, Miffy. |

 At the railway museum, Marina receives a call from an attractive lady. |
 I like reflection pictures. Look carefully and you'll see me, Ned and Lars among the trains. |
 A first-class picture of Ann (with matching second-class carriage). |
 Lars with his Hips and Makers t-shirt on. |
 Ned looking quite serious in front of a well-polished steam engine |
 Robert meets another flying Scotsman (photo: Ned) |
 Those sought-after con t-shirts, modelled by Chris, Robert, John and Marina (with ice-cream) |
 No parking - doorway outside the museum. Blue stuff, bricks, signs, all stuff I like. |
 I think this is an echeveria. In the distance, out of focus, some people you may recognise. |

 John (digital con photographer) on the canal tour |
 Bridge from underneath. I liked the way the sunlit water lit up the underside of the (many) bridges we went under. |
 Theatre (I think) reflected in the water - proving that canals are not always just brown. |
 Chris keeping in touch with London on his Motorola. See also John's study of the con's Nokia contingent. |
 Lars with his Pet Shop Boys t-shirt on. |
 Ned just before levitating through the boat's nooduitgang |
 Utrecht's most striking building, looking quite marvellous among its older counterparts. |

 The amazing sodomite monument, with sundry con-goers' feet. |
 The square behind the cathedral, as reflected (spot the motssers) in a stripey buiding. |
 Dutch multicoloured tags. Holland - it's not just orange any more. |
 Cheery graffito. |
 Robert (rainbow cap) and John (pink cap) spotted in the monastery's glass ceiling. |
 John and Robert unwittingly play heads bodies and legs with a straight couple at a bus stop. |
 One of Utrecht's many narrow alleys. |
 Marina samples a cool beer at a canal pub. Ned blends into the background. |
 One-duckling family on the Oudegracht. Larger duck families seemed to be rare: rats and other predators take their toll. |
 Ned introduces himself by beermat. |
 Canal water - glorious sunny afternoon and plenty of bright-coloured things makes for pretty ripples. |
 More pretty ripples. |
 Random Utrechtian with laptop book and checked trousers. |
 Michael retraces his first visit to Utrecht. Strangely, no plaque marks the house where he stayed over. |
