Yesterday

​A long, lovely, exhausting day! It was our one, scheduled Viator day tour in Amsterdam, and it did not disappoint! I think we must’ve visited five different little villages within an hour and a half’s drive from the outskirts of Amsterdam. One was a little seaport village where we enjoyed ’kibbling’ (the local favorite, which consisted of deep fried white fish) and herring (raw but salt preserved) for lunch; Edam, famous for Gouda and Edam cheese; and the others, each with stories of their own, but way too much information in a such short period for my mind to contain!  And too little time this morning to delve deeper. We have an 8:00 pick up scheduled to drop off at Amsterdam Central train station for our journey in to Ghent. We will hop off in Antwerp to spend a couple of hours because it’s along the way. And the train station has luggage lockers.πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ‘ I will try to post again on the trainπŸ€—πŸ’•πŸ€—. 

The loooooonnng river cruising boats 😊

Ilya, our tour director πŸ’•

Another long cruise boat πŸ˜‚!

At lunch we sat with a couple on our tour. They were from Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί, and so lovely!  They were on a two week hiatus from two, different river boat cruises, and absolutely loved them! πŸ’•


And our bus driver on the right. 😊 A talented driver who kept us safe! Nils, of Norway, was remembered fondly as we compared the two πŸ’•. 

A Long Day

​With a late arrival home. Blog to come in the morning πŸ’•. Time to pack real quick and then head to bed. We have an early departure for the train to Belgium. πŸ€—


Photos on our way home this evening to tide you over. πŸ’•πŸ€—πŸ’•

Remember When…

​…I told you how dangerous Europe is for trip (fall/stumble) hazards?  No two entryways are alike, and ALL have a step up. Which then means a step DOWN upon exiting! Here are some Netherlands examples…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

And a few more random pretty πŸ’•. 


And lastly…a selfieπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. 


Off to do some homework for tomorrow transport to our tour meeting place. We have to be there by 8:45, and it’s a 52 minute walk, so I’ll check Uber options to avoid getting up at zero:dark:30 πŸ˜‚.
