Wednesday - Thursday, July 6-7
We arrived in IJmuiden to end the Norwegian cruise on Wednesday morning. Fortunately our cruise continues this afternoon, so we had some time to catch up on wifi and also to go for a walk to check out the beach at IJmuiden. There are beaches on either side of the waterway that leads to the North Sea, and they are huge and well maintained. Overlooking the beach on both sides are beach huts which are all the same and set out in rows, one slightly above the other. On one side we counted 67 in each row, while on the other side there were 3 rows and twice as many, as the beach was a lot longer on this side.
We settled into our new cabin, and then attended a 4-5 Star Mariner reception in the Crows Nest, followed by the mandatory safety drill. We set off under sunny skies and smooth seas, and hope this continues for the next 14 days of our trip around the UK.
Thursday was a day at sea as we sailed towards Rosyth, the port for Edinburgh. The sea days are always enjoyable and relaxing, and are needed when you have so many ports coming up before we get another sea day!
