Wednesday 13th July

Amsterdam to Ijmuiden

Arrived in Amsterdam on time last night so checked into our hotel, parked the bikes overnight in the Bahnhof cycle storage and went for a beer in the oldest bar in Amsterdam.


                                Evidence

We didn't wake up until 8.45! Trundled down to a chaotic breakfast room in tbe cellar. There were too many people and not enough room as well as a group of Italians who decided to stand in the only room available and block all movement. I stepped on the main offending woman's toes which pleased me but seemed to antagonise her.
Back to the room and then checked out. I did mention that our shower didn't drain so flooded the bathroom. I'd spent a bit of time mopping up the water and wringing out the bath-mat. The receptionist was pleased I'd mentioned it and confessed that it seemed to be a design fault in many rooms. Mmmm.
So, off to Ijmuiden and the ferry.

                            First the rain

                           Then the wind
               Followed by coffee and cake

                      And finally the ferry
