The houseboat was wonderful. Quiet and cosy. Nice sitting on the little terrace in the sun and just relax. Sjouk came and welcomed us on the boat. Good information from Sjouk about the surrounding. He helped us to rent bicycles for two days which was just perfect to discover Amsterdam. East to go by bike to the NDSM wharf and take the free ferry over to Centraal. We really enjoyed our stay.
