DFDS Amsterdam

Seeing as how I was going to be in Newcatle for BUSA Fleets I thought i would investigate the ferry to Denmark. It was offering a two night cruise and as the Discounts for Teachers brought the price down by £30 to below £100 it seemed like a nice idea.
Problem was, the bus from David's to Newcastle was £2.50 and the train to the ferry a further £4, UK public transport. Going to try the Metro all the way and walk on way back.
Still, I got a good amount of food in Tesco's on the way.
It was dark as we sailed, so not a lot to see. Got the rest of the photos sorted and enjoyed the gentle motion.
Up at 7am for the buffet breakfast which was good. Shoed off the boat into the immigration queue, I think they have gone American, and fingerprints are not yet required. Bus to Centraal Station.
Took the ferry up to NKVD and looked at the artwork
Seems you should pay for the ferries. No7 seemed not to be running so I took the No4 back to Station and began walking the streets.
Souvenirs we're cheap, 6 for €5 and messaged Teilo. McD ice cream was €1 but the app didn't work!
Got carried away taking photos, nice architecture. Then had to rush to the bus where I was last on.
