After a day at sea, and with wobbly legs, we disembarked the Zuiderdam and wandered into “town”. This was my first cruise and I was overwhelmed by this tourist trap. We found ourselves surrounded by diamond shops, floods of people and general tat so promptly opted to go up the mountain, out of town, via a sturdy looking cable car. Fantastic plan as it turned out.
We trekked along little woodland paths, singing all the way to ward off any hungry grisly bears. It was quite an adventure, following a random route of narrow interconnected paths and carefully navigating our way over some slippery snowy patches.
The top of the mountain gave us spectacular views over the bay and surrounding mountains. The rest of the town didn’t have much to offer us. It may interest those wanting to purchase/ browse sparkly diamonds or buy overpriced tourist memorabilia.
