It’s an interesting canal and we found a beautiful park. When we stopped there, children approached with great excitement saying they’re never been on a boat before. Eager yet shy and polite, they slowly stepped on, when invited and loved exploring. Later they brought more friends to see Bartimaeus. Other families came to chat to us at the boat and when we went for a stroll the park was really beautiful, full of amenities, including a pond and boathouse, and full of people of all ages and many languages, and so many smiled and greeted us.
