ms Koningsdam
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Voyage of the Midnight Sun
Day 0
Partly Cloudy - 81 Degrees
We have left plenty to do in Amsterdam, but we've done what we could, and it's embarkation day.
ms Koningsdam, flying the flag of The Netherlands, is docked at the new passenger terminal. The complex includes the Movenpick Hotel and the Muziekgebouw, the addition to the music scene to compliment the Concertgebouw, one of the world's great concert halls.
As we pulled away from the dock, we passed by some of the great modern architecture we were introduced to on the canal cruise yesterday, the big green science museum, NEMO, and the new cinema museum.
More than three hours after leaving port, just at mouth of the river, on the other side of the breakwater, kite surfers danced in the space between the waves and the wind.
Next Stop: Flåm, Norway
Lovely! Read all the entries and enjoyed immensely. Can't believe it's 81 there, returned to winter again here with 57 and constant rain today. Enjoyed Dam Coffee and proof that you were in the red light district. Hope it continues to be smooth sailing!
