The boat stayed docked at Zaandam for another day to allow those who had just arrived in Amsterdam on embarkation day.
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.
Our next and final port of call before arrival and disembarkation in Amsterdam, was the windmill village of Kinderdijk in The Netherlands.

We finally got to see the Panama Canal, the Pacific side where the Miraflores Locks are situated.

As mentioned in my previous blog I said that I would tell you something of the country of Panama, a History and a Geography lesson.
