8:45am and we were on the move. Andrew was over by 9:00 or
so - we ate our croissants - said our goodbyes to Karin and we were our the door
by 10:30. Made one stop at the ATM and headed to the harbor. Got to the barge
and Thomas greeted us. This is the same guide we had on our trip two years ago
to Brugges. He recommended going to the top of the library for lunch. Great idea.
Walked back to NEMO, the science museum, after lunch and headed up to huge
staircase for another view of the harbor.
By noon we all converged at the barge - anxious to get
moving. After having been introduced to the crew, we are underway. First stop is
an hour up the canal heading to Utrecht. We will bike for about 10mi to get
used to the gear. First stop ice cream. It was a very leisurely ride through the
beautiful countryside. Back on the boat at around 6 with just enough time to
shower up for dinner. Dinner was delicious.
We are now sailing through a lock and will be docking shortly for a night walk into town. Tomorrow we are on our way to Arnhem where the film "A Bridge Too Far" was based on.
Good news - there is wifi
Next time.. Arnhem
Countryside does look beautiful and Andrew seems to be enjoying the trip. Any pictures of the night life? May the force and good weather be with you.
