The Amsterdam Canal Parade 2007

This was the first time I was actually on a boat during Amsterdam Gay Pride. We were not in the official list of participants (73 boats were), but we managed to follow the last "official" boats and sailed for 3 hours through Amsterdam's canals. It was a beautiful day - sunny and warm - and almost half a million people came to watch the parade. What I like about Amsterdam's gay pride is that most of the visitors are straight - a typical comment is that "you will never see so many good looking men together" which attracts the girls of course. Picture below is our boat, you can see a glimpse of me waving to the photographer.
