A couple of contrasting days recently. We motored up the Vetch river from Muiden in fabulous sunshine. What a lovely river, winding past stunning riverside houses, river boats and quaint villages. We stopped at Loenen overnight.
Carrying on up the Vetch the next day nearly as far as Utrecht before joining the Amsterdam Ring Canal - huge ships and even bigger locks and wet and windy weather. We stopped alongside a fuel ship at Utrecht to refuel. Seem to be using about 2.5LTS/hour which is pretty good.
After Utrecht we headed for the Princess Beatrix Lock - just enormous. Then off to Vianen for an early stop in the rain. Off up the River Lek tomorrow, against the flow which will be a bit of a drudge for a while.
