Day 24 Amsterdam

Today we continued our cruise to Amsterdam, travelling through the last of the locks to get into the main canal, and then docking for the final time on this tour ...after lunch we departed for our city tour of Amsterdam, hearing about all the different aspects of this land...interesting to hear that some of the heritage houses are slowly sinking because the  timber foundations are giving away, at least we know it has taken many hundreds of years...following the bus tour we then visited the floating flower markets...yes even cannabis seeds for sale here..though illegal a blind eye is turned over all this ... One wonders why!!!Tonight our Italian group managed to get dinner together which was great then a photo opportunity on the stairs and time to say farewell as we will be on our way early in the morning...
