Amsterdam - Day 4

Well these beds aren't the greatest but it was a good nights sleep aboard the Viking River Spirit. Breakfast was a delish buffet or made to order and we were provided with a nice tour around Amsterdam. Starting at 8:30am we toured parts of Amsterdam by bus, then onto a canal bus to see the sights from the water perspective. It wasn't bad but picts weren't easy to get. Later we had a tour via bus all over the city. By 10:30 we visited the Gauguin Museum. It's ok if your passion is art. After a short hour we hit the bus back to the ship. At 1:00 the ship took off down the Rhine river toward Germany. I sat mostly on the top deck in the sun or what little sun we had. The winds were chilly and you had to wrap up in a towel or jacket. This was the start of our journey down the Rhine River to many locks. UNO, Scrabble & cards keeps us busy along the way, love the food, games, and the other folks. Everyone jokes around even though we don't know each other very well yet. We will enter Germany sometime in the middle of the night. I need to hit the hay now. Too much wine and my head is bobbing. Gnight- till tomorrow in Cologne....
