Amsterdam bound

The Amaverde pulls out of Amsterdam right on time with 22 hrs of steaming ahead we shall sit back and enjoy the all the  luxury that's on offer. Being a first time river cruiser where not to sure what to expect, it's not long and we are bombarded with food and more food and drinks. The ship pulls a steady 16 kph and our journey is some 1800 odd kilometres in length and with 60 something up and downs in the lock system this in itself will be an adventure. No much to report as we sail through the night except the first lock we arrive at has to lift the massive river boat some 60 feet to get to the next river level . At 2 am this was very impressive then back to sleep till breakfast time, while powering up stream we pass many other boats. Yes this is a busy river,arriving in Vienna just on lunch after more food it's of for a tour of the town, after early dinner it's off to a musical recital at some flash palace. Early to bed because I'm off to Bratislava the capital of Slovakia tomorrow for a 7 hr tour so see ya later............WADDA

PS I've sent a blog the other day and I think it's still in cyber space......sorry
