Voyage of the Vikings Rotterdam

Tuesday, August 11th Port# 11 Rotterdam, Netherlands We woke to cloudy skies, again! Our excursion today is on a river canal boat to the Kinderdyik, where the windmills are. We walked over the Maas River on the famous Erasmus Bridge in the rain, our rain panchos blowing in the breezes. We met some others from the ship and we all joined together for the day. The sun finally came out and we had a nice afternoon, even getting some sunburn on our faces and arms. There was a group called the Rotterdam Shanty Singers who performed on the pier just before we sailed. It was very entertaining. As we left port we were treated to a Fireboat water display about 14 stories high. Rotterdam is the home port for Holland America, so we were given the royal treatment! We were away and ready for a quiet evening after a long day!
