The crew of a cruising sailboat docks in Leiden, Netherlands, paying 55 euros per day for a berth that lacks the water and electricity hookups included in their previous 60-euro-per-day stay in Amsterdam.▶ 1:47 The marina facilities include showers, laundry machines, and power pedestals operated via a mobile app, similar to the system used in Haarlem.▶ 11:52 The crew explores the city’s canal network by dinghy, navigating under low bridges and past historic university buildings and the Hortus botanicus Leiden, which dates to 1590.▶ 6:08 During their stay, they visit a local weekend market featuring regional snacks like bitterballen and fried fish.▶ 19:33 To manage cold, rainy weather, they take their child to Monkey Town, an indoor play centre accessible by a 13-minute bicycle ride.▶ 14:45 The crew maintains a pace of three to four days per location, planning their next transit to The Hague.▶ 20:56
