Amsterdam
London – Amsterdam July 17th, Day 4
Our wake up call came as scheduled at 4:30 the next morning. We had a nice breakfast and left London by 6:00 am. We enjoyed a scenic drive to the coast viewing the White Cliffs of Dover before taking the channel- crossing over to Calais, France. We crossed World War battlefields in France and Belgium en route to Amsterdam. Our tour included a canal-cruise in a glass topped boat where we enjoyed an Indonesian dinner and drinks. This was a nice introduction to a very interesting city. The dining experience was wonderful and the boat ride was the perfect way to see the town. We were escorted through the "red light" district. It was interesting to see the “coffee” shops and the prostitutes offering their wares in the shop windows. We stayed in Amsterdam at the Mercure an der Amstel Novetel for the night.
