We had a joint thirtieth birthday for 16 people and it was fantastic.

We had initially wanted to spend the weekend in Amsterdam, but the boat was alongside in Monnickendam on the Friday when we arrived. We met Arse in Monnickendam which was only half an hour away from Central Station which meant on Saturday morning we sailed into Amsterdam which was amazing.

We were about 20-30mins on public transport from the centre which was easy to navigate.

Amazing weekend, totally recommend this to everyone who is looking for something a bit different!
