A sunny Sunday afternoon in early May up by the main Amsterdam waterfront 'Het IJ'.
The start point is by the restaurant 'REM' which was a platform located off the Dutch coast in 1964 as the pirate broadcasting home of Radio and TV Noordzee. It now serves as a platform for fine dining. We pass a line of Rhine pleasure crusers before passing under the canopy at the back of Central Station and loop round the east side before finishing by the Amstel.
Much of the route is defined by modern new developments.
