The Lena Maria Day 7

It's hard to believe that this is our last day. The weather has been nothing but phenomenal. Today's ride first took us to Naardin - a small town
enclosed inside a fort. Walked around a bit and visited an architect mall. Very ladila - no photos. Next was lunch in Muiden. Here we sat and watched the boats go in and out of the locks. 

It was back on the bikes and before we knew it we were entering the city of Amsterdam. A very short visit into the Maritime Museum before heading down to the dock where it all began a week ago. 

The afternoon group reconvened for one more final ride north of the city. We headed out of town on the free ferry and meandered through very quaint towns. Here there are more houses that are made out of wood instead of brick (which is mostly in the south). We had a wonderful stop for a small toast to a great trip.

Dinner was an Indonesian feast with baked Alaska for dessert. Andrew won the golden Orange along with Sue M. We did get to sit with out mates at dinner.  The after dinner walk took us back to the library to see the mouse house.

Back on the barge, we have finished packing and I think I'll go out for a last Amsterdam stroll.

Next time... Edinburgh

  1. Yes, its been quite a trip, fun and colorful as we vicariously followed along with you. I hope Andrew is bringing me back something from the Hempshopper. See you guys in Edinburgh. (P.S. Can't open the Day 6 photo album )
