How packed and long are our days, and what days are they!! A short trip along the canals brought us to to the bucket list item of the day: the Het Schipvaartmuseum. The royal barge built for the first king of the kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815 was exquisite. There was plenty to see in […]
An early start in the brisk morning air, soon found us on our southward bound journey once more. Rain heavy cloud formations northward bound, left us with feelings of relief to have left those rainy days behind. The lighting was perfect for photos this morning. Turning left into the Noorder Buiten Spaarne River the motor became quite picturesque. A […]
It’s been a delightful couple of weeks that Bob and I have experienced, exploring South Holland’s city of Amsterdam. One last trip to the washerette, and then we are on our way.

A relax day today, in which I sorted through the pamphlets collected and Bob completed the electrical connections to our new hot water system: It works a dream! Taken on the phone from my walk And it’s just outside of the city.
The plan today? A visit to the Molen Van Sloten en Kuiperijmuseum. Where the hours went, we shall never know! Morning departure was the earliest, yet. We paused on occasion, as I attempted to procure that perfect shot of the timid blue heron. What are you looking at, says he! A stop here and there […]
Day two of the Bucket List to in The Nemo Science Centre. Adults, let out your inner child. One has need to experience the electrical buzz in the atmosphere, as words can’t describe this place! Fun packed floors of activities (work labs and lectures), covering all areas of science, there is something to find there […]
We arrived in Amsterdam yesterday in order to pick up our visitors today. Time is being spent visiting marine shops to find the books and charts required for touring the Netherlands.
