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.πππ I will try to post again on the trainπ€ππ€.

The loooooonnng river cruising boats π

Ilya, our tour director π

Another long cruise boat π!
At lunch we sat with a couple on our tour. They were from Australia π¦πΊ, and so lovely! They were on a two week hiatus from two, different river boat cruises, and absolutely loved them! π


And our bus driver on the right. π A talented driver who kept us safe! Nils, of Norway, was remembered fondly as we compared the two π.
With a late arrival home. Blog to come in the morning π. Time to pack real quick and then head to bed. We have an early departure for the train to Belgium. π€



Photos on our way home this evening to tide you over. ππ€π
…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…ππ







A parking ticket…on a BICYCLE!

And bicycles GALORE!π±




And a few more random pretty π.





And lastly…a selfieππ.

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 π.
