After an exhausting day with an overnight flight and dealing with Heathrow airport in London we arrive on our boat MS Amadeus. Too tired to unpavk tonight. Dinner is at 7pm. Absolutely delicious. I have the pike. We are too tired to attend the lifeboat drill and are in bed by 8pm. I didn't sleep on the plane as I watched The Life of Pi on the plane. Wow did I sleep. We got up at 5am.Time to put our clothes away before coffee at 6am. Breakfast was wonderful too . I had the shrimp omelet from a menue. There was also a huge buffet. 8Am we are on a bus tour of Amsterdam. A 700 year old city capital. We do a canal tour first cruising through the elegant grachten lined with stately homes. A leisurely-paced walking tour to the flower market and the Delft pottery factory.. Amsterdam has 800,000 people and 650,000 bikes. At 12 we are back at the boat for lunch. Here again a buffet and menue to order from. We tried to have a nap after lunch only to be lurched out of bed -we run aground as the wind pushes us as we wait our turn to go through the locks. No damage done. Dinner is not until 7pm. We tie up at Arnheim to pick up Dutch dancers for tonight entertainment. A fun pack sunny day
