Boatgirl
| Read on to learn the secret of surviving taxi rides in Rome. | Who am I? I'm Louise Douglas. |
Boatgirl #12: Santa Cruz de Tenerife - Canary Islands, Spain Pina coladas, Canary Islands, wild tobaggan rides - this might be the life, but there's no way Boatgirl is facing the Brit tourists. | It's almost worth the food poisoning to visit a place so proud of its exploring and seafaring heritage. |
| Back to the Continent, and the search for sidra is on, amidst the supposed hordes of pickpockets in Barcelona. | On the water, and luckily no one forgot their leather pants, gold jewelry, and curlers. |
| Score one for the kindness of strangers, chalk up many points for Angelina's hot chocolate, and take in the Louvre. | Louise might love England, but really, shouldn't it be just about time for the bloody boat to get going? |
| Contrasts: Anne Frank, city canals, and the strange yet sensible civility of the Red Light District. | Find the source of fabulous in the Netherlands, just ignore the dorm-room smell. |
Boatgirl #5: My Overall Impressions of the City So Far - Amsterdam, Netherlands Amsterdam's a nice place, just watch out for teenagers, emergency cords on trains and hotels that don't answer the bell. | No more worries. A daydream's coming true, and the family and friends are even making their own plans to meet up with Louise on the road. |
| So both the flight and the boat have been delayed a while, no biggie, that's what hen parties and dirty limericks are for. | All is different, as the world moves in and through the massive city, and Louise can't even turn around without finding something not quite the same. |
