Amsterdam, Day Three

Margo left early to visit the Rijksmuseum; Sarah and I got to sleep in longer. We then had breakfast in the coffee shop downstairs.



I wanted to get some pictures of her outside but she only wanted to go back to our room:



Margo joined us back at our room. We checked out and began walking toward the train station, but we had plenty of time, so we stopped at a sidewalk cafe to get pancakes.




At the train station we were informed that due to rail maintenance, our planned train was not running, but we were given alternate directions that got us to the ferry terminal with plenty of time.

On the ferry back there was a show given by a childrens' performer.



The ferry uses jet propulsion underwater; we cruised back at 70 km/hr. This was our wake:



After a direct train from Harwich to Ipswich we made it back to our flat around 8pm. All in all we had 7-8 hours of travel each way, so we wouldn't want to do this every weekend, but this was a nice trip and we look forward to doing more.
