After a wonderful day in Leiden, today was not a very good one. It was embarkation day for our 2nd cruise and lots went wrong.
Today, we were still staying in Amsterdam, but visited the city of Leiden, an hour’s train ride to the south of Amsterdam. The sun shone again and the skies were blue.
For a change, we awoke to a beautiful clear day with blue skies and golden sunshine.
For our first full day in Amsterdam we decided to venture into the city after the King’s Day celebrations were over, or so we thought.
Disembarkation day in Amsterdam caused quite a stir for the passengers and crew.
Our next and final port of call before arrival and disembarkation in Amsterdam, was the windmill village of Kinderdijk in The Netherlands.
This blog is a continuation of my previous one where I talked about discovering places and buildings in Cologne besides the well-known Cathedral.
While the passengers were asleep the boat quietly sailed away from Koblenz at 02:00 and arrived in Cologne (Koln in German) 6 hours later.
Our next stop was the city of Koblenz, a city modern in some ways but steeped in history.
After a wonderful morning in Speyer and a coach trip to Worms we cruised to Rudesheim, arriving at 17:00.
