Day 5 – Amsterdam/ Boat 8/13/09

This morning we were sure to get the alarm set so that we would wake up in time to take advantage of our amazing breakfast. After breakfast we walked to the Amsterdam Historic Museum. It was a perfect mix of art, history, social commentary and culture. We wandered around there for a few hours then went to get a few small souvenirs. I bought a great sweatshirt of “I Amsterdam”, and Steve got a bag for soccer (and our additional loot on the trip), and some post cards. Next stop was a quick bite at a small sandwich shop and then off to catch a cab to Port Amsterdam.

We checked in for the Cruise around 3pm. What a stunning room – a veranda with much more space than I thought possible. Oh what a brilliant vacation this is turning out to be! I imagine I’ll be raving after we start getting fed again as well. So far this whole trip, the food, people, atmosphere has all be wonderful. Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t get sea sick!

We got into the room with just enough time to unwind before going down to the main dining room for an early dinner. Great Food! We ate prime rib & Steak. A terrific mushroom appetizer thing and desserts of cheesecake with fresh raspberries – YUM! After dinner we walked around the ship. Lots of bars, cool little spaces to see. The theater show started at 10:30pm. Excellent entertainment. Our favorite was a group of A cappella singers… or maybe they were a barbershop quartet? They were from Oregon – just amazing! Steve and I along with the geriatric crowd that abounds on this ship, enjoyed them thoroughly!


Last stop for fries!
