The next day was a sea day. We docked at Amsterdam the following morning. After dropping our luggage off at the hotel, we took the train to Zaanse Schans, a recreated Dutch Village. This stop was recommended by our taxi driver. We ducked into several shops and souvenir stands. The village also had a farm [goats, sheep, cows, chickens, etc.] There was a feed station [50 cents for a couple of handfuls.] I suddenly had the attention of about five little goats who eagerly accepted the feed. We took the train back to Amsterdam, rested up and had dinner.
Miriam and I had an extra day in Amsterdam. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast buffet and walked around town for awhile before settling in to rest up for an early flight.
We got up at 3:45 AM to catch a flight to Zurich and a 4 hour layover. We pretty well covered the shops before flying out to D.C. Thunderstorms in DC delayed our arrival about 2 hours. Flights were delayed and cancelled as the day progressed. Our 4:45 flight finally left at 8:30 for Indy.
Roughly 24 hours after getting up in Amsterdam we arrived home.
Overall it was a great trip!
