Natalie's Birthday Speyer

Mom and Brenda were put on the Leisure Group today. Mom said that she didn't want to be on the Leisure Group again. She elaborated that she did more steps trying to get around people than she would have in the regular group. So I ran to guest services and asked if we could be put in our original group. We were told that we just needed to gather with the original group.

We walked to the town of Spier. Spier is home to the largest Romanesgue Cathedral in the world. We viewed the church from the outside, where our guide pointed out the unique architectural features.

Speyer is known for 1529 Protestation by Martin Luther, along with being on the route of the pilgrimage to Santiago De Compostela.

We shopped a little in town during our free time.

We were bussed to the town of Worms where we boarded the ship.

The afternoon consisted of a coffee cooking demonstration and tea.

It is Natalie's birthday, so we celebrated by having dinner on the ship as we were all pretty exhausted; having walked 10,837 steps. 4.66 miles!

Natalie was quietly serenaded at lunch and dinner by the wonderful staff.Read more
