Had a wonderful time on the houseboat.. Best kind of stay in amsterdam.. Its very easy to get to the boat as well, following the directions given by Siem.. Boat is around 15-20mins walk to the nearest tram station: Zuiderzeeweg (via tram 26 at platform A outside amsterdam centraal) . Siem's dad, Ton was around to receive us when we arrive at the boat. He welcomed us very nicely and was keep reminding us to feel free to knock on his door if we need help and this made us feel so at home while we are so far away from Singapore. The neighbour is quaint, picturesque and very safe with nice people around. There's a bike shop and supermarket opposite the boat so its really convenient to get food supplies. nothing beats waking up to quacking ducks by the marshes and having a dutch beer on the deck on a sunny day. We were quite relunctant to leave the boat after 4 nights stay ... Staying at woonboat has been a wonderful experience for us city dwellers and we really hope to be back at Schellingwodedijk again soon! Thanks Siem and Ton again for everything :)
