From our hotel in Amsterdam to meet the barge in Haarlem

First, a fine breakfast at the hotel.

A classy scooter catches my eye.

Leah in the window.

Another beautiful day.

On the train.

Our stuff.

Art and antiques.

Walking through Haarlem, looking for our barge.

Saturday appears to be market day.

We overshot the canal, of course, and had to double back, but we found the water eventually.

And there it is! The Feniks!

We have a coffee while the boat preparations are underway.

Mercury appears to have lost a foot.

Getting fitted for bikes.

Only the best for Leah!
