Amsterdam Cruise

Lovely photos of Amsterdam Rosa,especially lke the trams and that bike hanging off of the bridge:rotfl:

It is lovely to see photos of other parts of the world and I really like the photos of where you liveYou are lucky to have so many nice places to visit near your home

Thanks for sharing them with us:gnthb::luv:

 

thank you kandy pleased you like them our area has got nice places its just the weather at times can be real bad get the north east winds.
it was a nice change staying in amsterdam overnight as other times we have just had 5 hours in amsterdam and the hotel was lovely this was above my bed these lovely tulips picture behind glass and it lit up thought you would like to see it and everyone else.

 

More lovely pics Rosa, I have never been up north but it looks like a lot of things are going on, When I was a lad every time I got a puncture I used a bowl to put the inner tube in must be a new idea to place it into the canal :hehe:

 

Thanks for the trip Rosa, you seemed to have a great time. We have been looking up trips to Amsterdam via Eurostar next February but they were so expensive we opted for Paris instead which surprisingly was cheaper.
I won't say you have saved us a trip but instead given us an idea of what we would have missed.

 

thanks nathan pleased you enjoyed my other pics.
and thanks strongy our trip wasnt expensive from north shields dfds the 3 days and staying overnight in the hotel in amsterdam, breakfasts included was £261 and cabin we reserved a sea view on board so its worth considering going from up north. next year when weather is nice i fancy a cruise to the fyords they reckon its lovely so going when the weather is lovely i will get nice pics.

 

That was certainly good value as the ones we looked at for three nights on Eurostar were 'from' £400 each! and that was a budget hotel. Maybe we will get to Amsterdam one day.

 

strongy that is expensive the £261 was for both of us not each so it was great value, we did ours online the dfds have some good deals they do a 2 night cruise for around £79 each but you only have around 5 hours in amsterdam staying overnight in amsterdam is best at the moment they are doing a lot of work in amsterdam working on a underground tunnel so theres lots if barriers and scaffolding all over the place it was still nice only wish we could of gone closer to xmas to see all their decorations up.

 

thanks peri, when charge went on my camera i was quite lucky because we were approaching the dock i got my main pics i wanted coming through the tynemouth piers and got tynemouth castle, i live just off the sea front only 5 min drive from tynemouth were the dfds ship sails in.

 

Hi Rosa I would think Christmas time would be a lovely time to visit these places - I think it will be next year now when we get to Paris as we have paid up to go away for Christmas for four days.
My friend went to the fiords a couple of months ago and she showed me the photos on her tv and it looked stunning! I say do as much as you can while you are fit enough to enjoy it.

 

hi jazmine, yes your right should of gone closer to xmas but with hubby going away we couldnt, im looking forward to going to the fjords ive heard its gorgeous, were you going for xmas, we normally go to thailand but cant this year.

 

Hi Rosa
We are going to a Devere Hotel in Wokefield Park, Reading, Berkshire - if you google it you can see the fabulous Mansion House as the picture scrolls across the top.

 

Awwww Rosa what a shame I cant see your pics, they are not showing up for me for some reason. :((((

 

takemore thats odd wonder why you cant see my pics hope when you come back in you can see them
jazmine that sounds a lovely place what a nice name for a hotel will have a look

 

Yey!!! for some reason I can see them today!!! Really enjoyed your pics Rosa. Never been there myself .... Yet XX

 

Rosa, it looks like you had a nice trip. Excellent. I see you're think about going up to Norway. That's something I've always fancied, but I want to go in winter time to increase the chances of seeing the northern lights. I reckon it will be chilly though.

Strongy, I would recommend the mini-cruise. The wife and I went on one to Rotterdam. Rotterdam itself is not great (everything else was sold out) but the crossings really are part of the break. We sailed from Hull with P&O, the ship had several decent bars, a couple of restaurants, a mini casino and a couple of shops. The cabin wasn't much, it was comfortable and functional but tiny, but that's no problem because we only used it as somewhere to sleep, wash and get changed.
