Two narrowboats set out for Amsterdam: Colours of the
Wind, owned by Henk and Marjolein and Chouette ownerd by Angela and Patrick,
having been transported to the Netherlands by lorry.
Marjolein leads the way
Chouette passes through the centre of Amsterdam

To everyone's surprise, a Piper
boat is spotted on the Noord Holland Canal.
The owner hails us and we stop
for a chat. |

|
The two boats cruise together.
|
|
Next morning, we pass by a picturesque windmill
|
|
We moor up to look at Broek in Waterland, a picturesque
village.
|
|
We approach Aalkmaar, but sadly do not
arrive on the right day for the famous cheese market.
|
|
Every Dutch vessel proudly flies the
national flag. British narrowboats create much interest.
