1670 – Amadeus Star at Amsterdam

After a night and a mornings sailing, we have moved from Köln to Amsterdam. Two things are a bit of a blight on the cruise today both, I hasten to add, absolutely outside the control of Great Rail Journeys.

Firstly Dutch railways are on strike tomorrow. Not all trains are affected, but guess whose is. Yep. The second really annoying thing is I woke up with a massively ricked neck, down the left hand side. Agony to move. I started popping paracetamol, that helped a little. Everyone suggested I get a massage.

I booked one before we went on the canal river cruise, which even though I was in pain, I thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately no slots available until 1600. Those of you with a certain frame of mind can get back in your cage. The Massage was on board ship.

The tour was very interesting, taking in the delights and issues of canal-culture. We ended up at the grand central,station which is only about ten minutes walk from the boat’s mooring.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.
