European River Cruise 2019

We took a bus trip away from the crowds of Amsterdam and into the crowds of The Netherlands version of Soveriegn Hill. The weavers cottage A block of Canadian maple about to be made into a clog 5 Minutes later we have a clog Making a barrel of fun Some old cheeses Tow car????

Our river cruise finished in the city of canals, killer bikes and funny little cars.   We have a few extra days to explore this city and surrounds. We had a canal boat tour and did our own hop on hop off tram tour. Meals seem dearer here than home and it often costs about a dollar to use the toilets, even in Maccas. Rotting timber piles result in randomly leaning buildings We took a canal tour Seven Bridges One of the busy tram terminals outside the station Amsterdam Centraal Station Where's my bike? Watch out for pick pockets On a tram waiting for the opening bridge to close The view from our hotel room. Yes, that's a train right there

Still having a good time as we cruised through the night to Amsterdam.
