We had a wonderful time at the woonboot! Although we didn't meet siem personally, his father welcomed us very friendly and brought us some groceries and a bottle of wine. Just a minute away you find a lovely Landmarkt where you can buy organic food. If you cross the river IJ you can go to the city by tram (26) really fast. Within 15 minutes you arrive at the central station. The fact that you are on your own at the woonboot in a rural atmosphere and reach the hustle of the city so quickly made our stay unforgettable.
