Docked in Amsterdam, but a short drive took us to visit Utrecht, a university town with a canal network. We took a guided tour on the canals, that included a Gouda cheese tasting. I really enjoyed the oldest that had salt crystals formed in it rather like vintage cheddar or Parmesan. Utrecht was a bit dirty & tatty with a lot of closed shops.
Won the quiz again, Linda's poem was the tie breaker winner.
All in all the river cruise was very nice, visiting some lovely places, the boat was very comfortable, but there were too many early tours for our liking. Food good, you just had to be careful with your selection. The entertainment was limited but good & Noel, the Northern Irish activities manager was brilliant. Would go with the company again.
Flight home good, trains cancelled because some Muppet crashed into a bridge, but we worked our way around it.
