Day 5 Sunday October 22

Today we set sail. In the morning we had a guided canal boat tour through the various canals of Amsterdam. We then spent time in the Rijksmuseum with a guided tour seeing the 17th century art masters. Probably the most famous is Rembrandt. He painted numerous very large works. One of them we saw today , the Night Watchman, had previously hung at another location. When they discovered there wasn't enough room for the picture they cut off parts of the two sides. Hmmmm creative solution? After lunch we headed out of Amsterdam and have now gone through two locks and have entered the Rhine river. Tonight was the captain's welcome dinner , a 6 course meal. Very enjoyable evening ending with creme brulee my favorite dessert.
