| Its raining |
At 09.45 we were woken up by a young lady on a bicycle who delivered in a basket, two tea cakes and the weather forecast. A lovely wake up call.
Bill went off to the supermarket while I tried to sort out the communications problems with the internet and unfortunately did not succeed.
The weather forecast prediction came into fruition in the afternoon, the wind came out of the north west with accompanying heavy showers which rolled in and times were torrential, our tent was earning its keep again.

| Narrow winding cobbled streets |
We lazed around, reading until going ashore at 19.00 to the four seasons restaurant. The starters of spring rolls and spare ribs we enjoyed but the rack of lamb main courses were not up to our usual standard as the meat was under-cooked. We ended up in the 'Koffiebon' bar watching a football match on the tele in which Ajax won 5-0.
The small winding streets and little canals of Monnickendam are enchanting with the fairy lights strung across the small wooden lifting bridges. How people manage to get there little boats on the canals outside there houses must be a joy to watch. It is again the cleanliness of these places which really catches your attention
