So here we are in the centre of Amsterdam, the arrival is smooth the road are easy, clean and traffic is low, so low that you can ask yourself if you’re arriving in a capital city, but we’re surrounded by cyclists, we’re not mistaken we’re in Amsterdam lol
We arrived in the hotel parking at level -1.
Dutch people are known for their bikes, their weed and their love for books ! That explain this library in the bar !
After a long night constrict in a small cabin on the boat it’s time to stretch legs ! so we find that park along the way to Amsterdam. It’s a really big one, with plenty of different features as you can see on the plan :
Space for dog, space for on leash dogs and no dog space and the most important a big fence all around which mean freedom ! It’s actually a big change because in the UK park are mostly big totally open space too dangerous to let your dog go. So….Here what happens with Globule and freedom :
It’s an important time because we don’t know if we’re gonna have a lot of park space in Amsterdam centre.
First you go to the checkpoint, they look at your passport, verify that you’re not a very dangerous terrorist and perhaps once in a while they look at one of your luggage.
They give you your tickets and a car sign to say that you have a pet on board.
This is the first ferry of the company to have dog friendly rooms, which mean we’re gonna be able to sleep with Globule, so no night in the kennel for the little princess :-p
And once you’re there, the only thing left is to wait for the parking guy to tell your line to go in.
And as we have special guest with us we wait a lot, because all the people with pets go to the very same and special parking space situated near the kennel and dog friendly cabins space, basically between the Deck 5 and 6.
On the map of the ship the different places we’re gonna go !
The cabin is nice, not as luxurious as the comodore ones but at least there’s a window 🙂
We reorganized a little bit the space, we put one of the extra mattress from the bunk bed on the ground between the two beds so we sleep : Globule / Daddy / Mommy for the first part of the night, for the second part Globule squatted daddy and she finished her night with mommy.
