Out of the Jurisdiction: Evening Cruise of the Amsterdam Canals

 An evening cruise of the Amsterdam canals was a fine way to end this trip.  The cruise began as daylight waned and finished in darkness.



We passed Amsterdam Centraal -- the city's main railroad station --with some remaining daylight.


Brouwergracht is a canal in the Jordaan neighborhood.  It was once a place for breweries.


As night fell, we sometimes got a brief flash of light as we passed bridges connecting two canals.


Some bridge archways are lit.

Passing the National Maritime Museum as we left canals and entered the harbor was a fitting way to end the evening canal cruise.  The VOC Amsterdam is a replica of an 18th century Dutch East India vessel.

Back to southwest Florida tomorrow.
