Monday 21st August 2017













Very warm and sunny.
Woke up to find we had already docked at Rotterdam. Not the best view from the balcony?
After breakfast we found our coach (pre booked) for a day touring and a canal trip in Amsterdam.
Drive to Amsterdam was spectacular, lots of windmills of course. One stood out for me, a thatched roof one. 
The canal trip also spectacular but did surprise me. Did not appreciate how the canal system branched out, also how wide the canals were, more like rivers?
Enjoyed a couple of hours in Amsterdam brousing the shops. Plenty of tulips for sale of course but was amazed at the ease you could purchase cannabis. In the form of lolly pops, choc bars, seeds and plants.
A good day out with a good introduction to Amsterdam, next port of call is Zeebrugge.
