Oh yes!

Here follows advertisement crap of a nice route...

"One week from Strand Horst

Strand Horst - Amsterdam - Utrecht - Elburg round trip

Friesland - North Holland - Utrecht

Cruise the River Vecht and delight in the country houses lining the canal, formerly the weekend residences of wealthy business owners. Moor at Weesp and take the 10-minute train journey to the cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam. Tour the canals, visit the many tourist attractions, perhaps visit a diamond polishing factory. Cruise to Utrecht and return via Spakenburg.

180km 4 locks 33hr round trip cruising time"

Holland!!!

I would like to point out that this route is using a cruiser rather than a narrowboat, so would give a new fun handling experience into the equation - well we do have to do something to make up for the lack of locks ;)

Also, given that Matt has indicated that he might bring Jen along - the boat in question has a double cabin at the front.
