Today we arrived on our ship the "Scenic Sapphire". Once we got over the shock of how small the cabin was, we really enjoyed the facilities. We had a wonderful dinner the Rocky and Joan and then went for a walk through the "Wallen" district of Amsterdam. You guess it, it was the night club and red light district again. During the evening we had the opportunity to meet our fellow passengers. There was a couple from Australia, who were on their honeymoon. There was a couple from London Ontario, whose husband had us laughing continually. And there was a couple from Ottawa, who celebrating their 35th anniversary. She told us that she had spent her wedding night in the Prescott Hotel and was one of the first women to ventured into the men's tavern albeit in her wedding gown. Her husband has been trying to make it up to her since.
During the morning we went shopping on a large outdoor pedestrian mall where we ended up in the famous Amsterdam flower market. They had lots of tulip bulbs for sale but of course you can't bring them back to Canada. They have store here called H&M and I suspect that they had four or five stores in a six block radius. A little bit of overkill, if you ask me.
