Packed like sardines for fireworks

We noticed loads of people corralling into the city centre and decided
to follow along. Seems that they were going to observe the 2pm
fireworks display. It was a long wait for us, about an hour, but we
managed to get a good spot to stand. There was a live band from the
beer company Amstel drumming up beats and giving people something to
dance to. They also blew up massive inflatible beach balls about 5'
wide for the crowds to punch around! The fireworks were hardly visible
as they basically flew towards the sun, but after afew minutes there
was enough smoke to blot out the sun! And they were LOUD! We've never
been so close to massive fireworks like this before, a truely awesome
experience.
