Nightlife Spot: Romantic cruise at night
We went on a romantic midnight cruise on the canal. We were disappointed in that the seating arrangements are not that favourable to couples wanting a romantic evening! The couple sit side-by-side, facing another couple! Total strangers! We are generally friendly and I love chatting to other people and getting to know them as this evening was about 'us', and I wasnt in the mood to be chatty. Plus our knees kept touching! The tables were like an ironing board jutting out from the side, with 2 bowls of cheese and grapes on it for us to consume during the 2 hour cruise. We had to share this with the other couple. Then they gave us these neon straw-like things for some light on our table. Hmmm. The weather was lovely and the illuminated canals, with their gorgeous, lit bridges was a sight to take in for sure, but on the whole, this evening was not at all romantic, it might as well have been an ordinary (and far cheaper! We paid 40 euros each for this cruise) night cruise.

Dress Code: Smart casual. Some people really dressed up very smartly for this though! A bit odd to see a chap with a smart suit sitting by an ironing board though! haha ;)

5 days in Amsterdam coming up - Vermeer at the top of my list but will take your tip about the hop on hop off canal cruise - sounds a good way to spend a day. Thanks - L | titabell Sun Apr 5, 2009 09:46 UTC
Hi Jenn! Wonderful tips on Amsterdam. My son is going there with his friends next month and I had to remind him of the warnings and dangers using your tip. Thanks. | balhannah Tue Mar 24, 2009 10:20 UTC
Will be visiting Amsterdam soon. Hope you enjoy Adelaide, a lovely city. The Adelaide Hills are very pretty, worth hiring a car and driving around. Enjoy your visit. | HORSCHECK Sun Feb 24, 2008 15:50 UTC
Jenny, fabulous page about Amsterdam. Can you believe that I have never been to this interesting city although it is so close to where I live. Interesting to read that you as a South Afrcian are able to understand the Dutch people. |
