The while-we-wait-for-river-cruises photo quiz

[Ritabob]

Hint...A well known large building from the 17th century.

[gnome12]

Amsterdam perhaps?

[Ritabob]

Yes to Amsterdam

The view from the ladies' loo

[gnome12]

A scene of a canal in Amsterdam doesn't do much to limit location. 😄

Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum?? 😂 😂

Just kidding

Ha, ha,    ready for another photo clue?

 

[dogs4fun]

Yes, please - it is not Foam, right?

[gnome12]

I have a guess, but since I have no pictures I don't want to make it. I'm just having fun seeing what happens.

Another public space....after all the fellows would not be familiar with the ladies loo.

Go ahead and guess - if you are correct, you can simply pass to notamermaid (she has a photo ready) or simply pass.

 

You do not have to post a photo. 🙂

Which canal is this museum located on? That might help. The photo doesn't help me at all.

It's too soon to tell you that.  😁

I was kinda hoping you'd post the men's room next. But that would have been odd too...

Could it be the Stedelijk Museum?

I wondered that too, but I looked around the building with Google Street view and didn't see any round windows. Also it didn't look like a 17th century building. But I have no idea...haven't been there.

 

This is such fun. I still have no idea. There have been some great clues but they are going over my head.

Very enigmatic photos. Gonna call it a night & will check-in again sometime tomorrow & see if anyone makes a successful identification.  Good luck, all!

I was wondering if it was the Van Gogh Museum, which has been massively renovated since I was there. However, it is such a popular museum that I would be surprised that no one recognized it, so I'm probably wrong.

You're correct, you're wrong!

I am running out of obscure  photos to give as hints, are you ready for a give away photo,  or would you like to sleep on it? ( I am in GMT+5)

The Hermitage Amsterdam?  Little confused because it's on a canal (not a river).

Congratulations!  Yes, you are right it is on a canal , but is one of the places visited while on a river cruise.

This was going to be my next photo clue

That picture isn’t from the Hermitage. It is from the Rijksmuseum, no?

Gnome,

 

I have never been to the Rijksmuseum, that is on my list for the next time in Amsterdam.  The Hermitage was one of the daily excursions two years ago with Uniworld.   The bus dropped us off at the museum and then we walked back to the ship on a 'do as the locals do' tour.

 

Mitina  it's your turn!

Amsterdam is totally on a Rhine River itinerary, so it's fair game. I will say that you confused me when you said that the Cologne guess was on the wrong river - that made me stop looking at Rhine destinations altogether.

 

GMT +5? That's a time zone I haven't visited yet. I have been to GMT + 5.5 though. 😉

 

Looking forward to @Mitina's next picture.

[Ritabob]

Jpalbany,

My bad.  I am in GMT-04, not +5.  I will blame my hubby for his calculations. 😉
