Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 11 Netherlands

Our cheery and cheeky canine warrior has been in the wars.  Returning from Canada with frost pad and fleas from his compatriot sledge dogs, he was immediately despatched to the Poodle Parlour with express instructions from Mrs Xong for a good wash and his teeth cleaning as his breath smelled of fish.  This week finds them in Amsterdam.
He writes to his brother Malcolm,

Dear Malcolm,
Went to a cafe in town with Mrs X.  They were all
smoking funny stuff.  I got dizzy and on the way home,
saw a hole in the wall and, remembering the story our
Mam told us about Pietre and the Dyke, I put my paw
in it.  The fire brigade had to pull me out.  Mrs X is
LIVID.

Here is the page I made in his travel book.
The ship and compass were added as my husband's family originate from Rotterdam and were mostly sea captains on the sail boats.
Stamps used in the postcard are from StampsAway.  Thank you for all your lovely comments.  We both thoroughly enjoy reading them and visiting all the  other entries.
