Went back to the hotel and went to the restaurant but they said they were fully booked and it would be 45 minutes before we could get a table. We were to tired to wait, so we went and ate in the bar.

I got a Amsterdam burger (which was a cheeseburger) I got mustard and pickles with mine. I gave the mustard to Bob. (I don't like mustard and he does)
My Amsterdam burger and mustard
Bob got a US burger (which had bacon on it).
Bob's fries, burger and cole slaw
He gave his bacon to me as he thought it was raw (as in not burnt the way he likes it) His fries were very salty - mine were not so bad.
My fries
Tea glass and sugar packets
We got a pot of tea (half a glass each) and some water. We both were having trouble actually eating - we both ate the hamburger and left the bun.
I had a scoop of ice cream.
Then we came back to the room and Bob got undressed and was asleep almost immediately. I lasted a short time longer, and then I also went to sleep. I waked about 1:30 Amsterdam time, and then went back to sleep.

This morning we got up about 6:30 and got dressed. I had a shower utilizing the handicapped shower where I could sit and shower.
We went to the main restaurant (the Silk) for the very expensive ($25.00 each) buffet breakfast and it was a zoo. As usual doing a buffet is very hard for me. I can't really see or get to the food, and I have no place to put a plate if I do manage to get something. I need at least one hand to run the scooter. We did not get any juice as that was in another section that we didn't see. Neither of us drinks coffee.
Breakfast buffet
Bob getting me something from the buffet
Scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and tiny pancakes. Not much food for $25.00
We will check out about noon and take a taxi (the desk says about 8€) to the ship.
