It's our first morning waking up on the ship. We are still docked in Amsterdam. Breakfast is the full buffet. Today we have a canal cruise which although we have walked around a lot of the areas today we have a guide, Rolf so he can explain what we are seeing. After the canal we get on the coach for a drive around the city stopping at the flower market - we went and had coffee and sat and talked to our guide instead of looking at the tulip bulbs. Rolf was very interesting to talk to (and not bad to look at). From here we were back on the coach to drive to meet up with the ship. We were to meet at Utrecht which is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands but for some reason we went further on. Back on the ship it is lunchtime. The food is amazing and you don't have to lift a finger. We are cruising now along the Amsterdam- Rhine canal a man made canal that enabled shipping transport of goods to Amsterdam. The canal system through Amsterdam is man made. We just had a briefing about our choices of tours for the cruise. Too many decisions to be made for today, that can be tomorrows job!
Captains Gala Dinner tonight followed by entertainment and we will sail into Germany waking up tomorrow in Cologne.

G Relaxing today compared to the hectic activities of yesterday. Cruising at moment and been confronted by huge locks enabling our long long and did I say long ship, through these enormous structures is awesome. If it werent for these holland would be the holland sea and no land. How odd is that. Hey time to get spruced up for Tucker and the captains welcome dinner. What a great guy. Good night
Rob Sounds like you are having a great time - keep us all interested. Look forward to the next entry
