Rhine River Cruise

Arrived in Breisach, Germany in the early morning. After breakfast, we took a guided walking tour of the town which is situated between the Rhine River and the Black Forest. We toured the town's landmark St. Stephen Cathedral which was built in Roman and Gothic styles between the 12th and 15th centuries. It was almost completely destroyed during WW2. Rebuilding took until 1956. There was a farmers market where we had great grilled sausages and beer followed by gingerbread cookies and gelato. Great day.
It was our last night on the ship. Had a farewell drink and thanked the entire staff for a wonderful cruise.
Sailed during the night to Bern, Switzerland.Les mer

Left Amsterdam and sailed all night and morning arriving in Cologne after lunch. We were assigned to a small group for a 2 hour walking tour of the city. Unfortunately, the skies opened up and we experienced some heavy rain. Thank goodness we were given umbrellas so we didn't get too soaked. The sun came out just as the tour ended. Thad and I went inside the large cathedral and marveled at the architecture. Stopped at a beer garden and had a coke and beer (Thad had a regular beer, surprise, surprise). Haven't had one since we were in Germany a few years ago!! Sounds terrible but it's really good. The rest of the day we were on our own. All aboard at 9:45 p.m as we sail to Koblenz.Les mer
