Amsterdam

 We settled on our boat and enjoyed a few cocktails and dinner. The next morning, 22nd September, we had a lovely morning of stitching and then spent the afternoon wandering in Amsterdam. It was lovely and warm!

The next day we had the most wonderful visit to Petra Prins patchwork shop right in Amsterdam. It was such a beautiful shop and Petra gave us a fantastic talk about dutch quilts and showed us so many wonderful quilts.

In the evening for dessert the ship had sutch proffertjes. They were delicious.

Maastricht, Cologne and on to the boat

 On 20th September we headed to Cologne via Maastricht. It was a very cute place with an amazing fabric market. 

We then headed to Cologne where we stayed overnight. We wandered around in the afternoon and enjoyed a very german meal of meat, potato and sauerkraut in the old town.

In the morning we went on a walking tour which was very good. We also went into Cologne Cathedral, which was wonderful. We then boarded the Arosa Sena boat for our cruise.
