The next time I was in the Netherlands I didn't ended in Amsterdam instead of starting there. I started by disembarking a Holland American cruise ship in Rotterdam. Thi swas my third grandchild trip and I was with my 12 year old granddaughter.
23 June 2009 was a sea day and mostly connected with packing everything up. I had to leave all the travel literature, soap and mouthwash behind as I had too much stuff to get into my suitcase otherwise, and it was still extremely heavy when packed. B insisted on leaving her knapsack with the luggage to be carried off the ship in spite of my objections, and I would have objected even more strenuously had I known what she had packed in it.
The only photos I took were of food.
Lunch
Fish cakes appetizer
Chilled blueberry soup
Dessert
Ice sculpture
Dinner
Bread
Grolsh Premium Lager bottle
Fruit cocktail
Duck Breast L'Orange
Sauted Shrimp Provincale
Dessert
Parade of the chefs
I tried very hard to use up my internet minutes, but the internet was down all night on the 22nd, and was extremely slow on the 23rd so I was left with many minutes unused at the end and also was unable to get emails.
I also asked B to write down all her purchases for customs and she said it was none of their business what she had bought and objected strenuously to doing this.
