Amsterdam, Holland and Delft Day 1

Finally! My trip to Amsterdam, Holland and Delft.  It was colder in Holland than it was in Great Britain.  The trip started by catching the bus here on base and heading south to Harwick.  We caught a ferry that went from Harwick to Hoek Van Holland.  The ferry was like a cruise ship that carries cars, buses and people!  The ferry ride was six hours, so it got a little boring before it was over!  There were a couple of restaurants and several bars on the ship.  When we arrived in Hoek Van Holland, it was about an hour to our hotel in Amsterdam.  The first night we went to the Sea Palace Chinese Restaurant for dinner.  It was nice, they brought out several large bowls of different foods and we all shared.  It was pretty good.  The restaurant is a floating restaurant, it was built on a barge, it was very nice, a lot of beautiful decorations.  But, it is crazy to go to Amsterdam to eat Chinese food!
