Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

We spent our last cruising day entering the Netherlands. It was a cold but sunny day and the canal scenery was of open fields, small towns and lots of fishing with locals setting up their gear on regularly placed sites on the canal sides. The houses were of different designs to Germany with much newer architecture.

Once docked we went off for an afternoon tour of the Amsterdam countryside. This was 'touristy' but very good with a visit to a small cheese and clog business and the Zaanse Schans windmills.

After dinner we braved the -5 degree temperature to walk through the city to the red light district - sleazy but educational!

We discoed away our last night onboard and were sad to see the end of this wonderful holiday.
