Amsterdam flower market

We had breakfast in the Seaview buffet restaurant as usual then we split into 3 groups to do Amsterdam. I stayed on board to rest my knee, the others spent a few hours in the city, while I am doing this blog.

It was very quiet on board and there was plenty of room in the pool and jakuzzis while most of the cruisers were off in Amsterdam. 

The rest of our party took the no 26 tram to the flower market which is set up along the canal to do a bit of shopping. Rosemary bought an Amarylis bulb and a white Agapanthus amongst other things. Gill and Katie bought some Holland memorabilia and after a coffee stop in a sunny side street, then two tram rides, were back on board in plenty of time for the 6:00pm departure. 

We were all  reunited in Cafe Bacio then had enough time to enjoy a bit more relaxing sun and yet another cocktail in the sunset bar before getting changed into our the smart chic evening attire for dinner.
