Above And Beyond...

Amsterdam

We left home just after 5am to get a flight from Bristol airport to Shipol, Amsterdam, where we cruise on the Viking ship Kvasir along the Rhine to Basel, Switzerland, for the week. The last time we were here was in 2000 when came to import a car.  We can't remember it much.

The 55 minute flight went quick when we were sat amonst three ex-Royal Marines who are deep sea divers en-route to Nairobi. Lets just say they were very entertaining, one of them approached by MI5 to spy - which he rebuffed! We had a bit in common. Lovely guys, and so funny.

The main blip picture is of some reflections in the canal of houses. The extra is a wide angle of the Kings War Memorial. I thought I'd better do one even though I dare vote for my own!! I hope you are all submitting an entry!!!

Our ship is very luxurious and we enjoyed the company of the two couples , from Yorkshire and The North East, at our table tonight so much, that we have agreed to sit together for the week.

Tomorrow we are headed for Kinderdijk, Holland, and hope to see many windmills!
