The Trip that was: September 10, 2013/2014



2013

A visit to the National Maritime Museum , Scheepvaart Museum!   The building dates fro 1656, and was designed by Daniel Stalpeer.  It was built on an artificially constructed "island" in the harbor. It was the land-based storehouse for the Amsterdam Admiralty, and home of the Dutch Navy.  A reprodcution of a Dutch East India Company ship stands in the harbor and you can take a tour. It also gives you a beautiful and unique view of the city!! They also have a lovely cafe, nice coffee and great apple tart!
