We got up early and had breakfast, so we were ready to board the coach for a day tour of Alkmaar. We visited Windmills and got to see how you would have lived in a working Windmill. It was so cold and windy, at least that ensured the Windmill was working.Then visited a beautiful little town, we had a guided tour and then wandered around for little while, bought a coffee and in the Cafe was the most expensive bottle of Balsamic vinegar I have ever seen. We got back on the coach and headed back the boat. I had nap and Jen went the lounge to listen to a String Quartet.Leggi altro

We docked in Cologne at 1.00 and left the boat at 1.30 for our tours. Jen did the city walk and I did the shortened version of the city walk and guided tour around the Cathedral. Then we wondered around Cologne and buying souvenirs. I bought 3 magnets and some little bottles of Eau De Cologne 4711 in little tins, Jen bought chocolates. I walked up onto the Cologne bridge that has all the Love locks on it and then back to ship for drinks on the top deck. We left Cologne at 6.30 and dinner was at 7.00, we had Crumbed Mushrooms, Glass Noodle salad, Risotto cakes, Beef Cheeks and Crepe SuzetteLeggi altro

The mornings trip down the Rhine was amazing, the view from our room was beyond words. Jen went up to the top deck to the walking track and stayed in bed as I had a bad night with my Colitis. I got up around 9.30 and had a later breakfast and then met Jen on the top deck to watch the world go by. We arrived at Rudesheim at 12.30, disembarked at 1.00 to star our tour. Jen & I both did the walk through the vineyards. Well no one told us it was at the top of a massive hill and there was a monument at the top. The walk nearly killed me but we made it to a restaurant at the top to have a glass Reisling. I was so hot I could even drink the wine. We the walked up to the monument and then up further to the cable cars, which they call gondolas for the trip down. There was Christmas shop at the bottom so we did a bit of shopping but not too much as it was so expensive. We then walked back to boat to leave again at 4.00.Leggi altro

We had a late start to the day as we didn't arrived in Miltenberg till 1.00. There was a glass blowing exhibition in the lounge in the morning and he was selling lots of different decorations. Then Jen left to go to a tour of a Palace and meet the aristocrats. I was supposed to go to a tour of a Monastery but I was too sick with colitis to get out of bed, so stayed on the boat while it sailed through the locks and met everyone Wertheim to reboard after their tours. I didn't realised we had docked until I woke up to see someone staring at me though our balcony window.Leggi altro

We arrived early and left for our tour to Rothenburg at 8.30, it was an hour bus ride. The town is a walled town and once you were inside the walls it was a village that time forgot (except for the cars) The Christmas shop was amazing, we spent most of our free time in this shop and could have spend all our money there too. We then had a coffee in a beautiful cafe and walked down to the gardens in Pinocchios nose. We wandered around all the little shops and then headed back to the buses at 1.30, as soon as we arrived back at the boat we were off again. Next stop BambergLeggi altro

Jen is not been well now, she has sinuses so had a quiet morning in bed and dosing herself up on Panadol. We docked at 1.30 and left for our tour at 2.30. The guide was so slow and very boring, it was driving us both nuts so we ditched the tour and wandered around Bamberg by ourselves. Not that we were alone very long, we crossed paths with a number of groups from the ship but at least we could look at the shops and do things at our own pace. It was a beautiful town and we enjoyed just looking at the shops, the buildings and the bridges. I also managed to get so pictures of 2 locks today the last one was huge it was over 36 metres high.Leggi altro

Jen is feeling better yoday. Today we docked early and our tours started at 9.00, I did the Nurnburg old town tour and Jen did the Nuremberg World War ll tour. The old town tour was lovely we started at the top of a hill at the Castle they were setting up a Beer festival in the moor, luckily it was a dry moor. We wandered our way down to the market square where in December they have the world famous Christmas markets. There was a Church convention in town so there was lots of stages being erected and tents being set up so it was very busy. We had an hour and a half free time before heading back to the boat for lunch. I wandered around the town and checked out the shops, I found a shop with some interesting shoes & handbags, a crazy cookie store and souvenir stores selling pretty much the same stuff as the other towns. I stopped at a restaurant for a coffee and asked for a Cappuccino and the waiter said no only Espresso so I said ok, I will have a Coke then. He came back with an expresso and a coke so I tried my very first expresso. I actually really enjoyed the expresso, the coke may have been an overkill on the caffeine but I drank that too.Leggi altro

Today was a big day, we had to get a coach to Salzburg which took 2hrs and then I did the Sound of Music tour and Jen did the Mozart tour. We both ditch the tours early and just wandered around the shops, you get a bit over the tours after a while as they are too slow. The shops were amazing and I found some cute little Garden Gnomes in a shop window. We then got back on the coaches to go to the top of Goat Mountain to have a Bavarian lunch and a Sound of Music show. The road to the top of the mountain was closed as they were having sports car rally, so we had a permit to get through and after lunch we got watch the rally finish. The cars were amazing and so was the view from up there, the pictures don't do the veiw justice.Leggi altro

Viaggiatore Wow! I love the look of the food, cars, and especially the views! Sounds like Salzburg may have been one of the highlights of the trip so far.
