Jim and the boys play while waiting for momma to come off the ship. Mary and Eliot have a nice snuggle. Today there were some volunteers (I presume) dressed in period clothes and playing live music on the ship and down below on the pier. Right as we were leaving the ship area, a group of 50 school kids were arriving being given an dramatic account of life on the boat by a museum person (in Dutch, so we didn't stay).
This group of musicians had moved to the atrium at the entrance of the museum. All three were having a grand time and really acting the role. Ironically, this group was singing a song about the Batavia when we were leaving the museum. Though I have bad memories of the replica, the song was quite catchy and we all sang it as we headed down the street toward the Bloemenmarkt.
