We had been to Amsterdam twice before so this was nothing new to us. Going from Newcastle, although it is closer to us, the time taken to get there and back is much longer, so the amount of time in Amsterdam is very poor.
We arrived early in Newcastle and went shopping in Royal Quays but got board and went to the pub for something to eat. Then it was on the boat ready to sail, we watched a film and then went to the bar.
Next morning we when to get off the boat Rolland there was a massive queue to get through customs, it was the biggest most time consuming I have ever seen. It took about a hour to get through just what you need on a day trip. Then it was on the bus into Amsterdam.
As we had been before so we did something different we wandered away from the centre along Rokin Dam. Well along Damrak Damm which turned into Rokin Dam, anyway we walked out. We did stop at Marks & Spencer for some sandwiches (which we had back at the boat).
The first place we stopped at was Rijksmuseum, and we had a quick look around but we couldn't stop long.
We stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe and had lunch downstairs in the bar, it was too much of a fart on the get a table in the restaurant. The beers we had we had already had before, Wieckse Witte, which was very nice. We had burgers and they were very nice.
From there we walked to the Ann Franck museum but as usual there were big queues to get in so we just walked on.
Pretty soon it was time to make it back to the boat, on the way back nether of us felt well and we didn't leave the room. Just watched films on the lap top.
