    Packing, unpacking, repacking...why can't they make those suitcases the right size and lighter??? Checking documents, flight times, snacks, instructions to kids, sanity... Looking forward to Rhine River cruise with our dear friends from college, Steff and Nancy. Also reconnecting with Marian and her family in Belgium. We have kept in touch since high school when she was our foreign exchange student. The adventure and anxiety begins...

Day 3- Sunday, August 29 in Basel, Switzerland

Image
 The city is beautiful with rich historical buildings next to modern skyscrapers. We had  breakfast and dinner in charming restaurants overlooking the Rhine River. Watched a ferry tethered to a cable as it crossed to transport passengers against the fast flowing current. Two swimmers easily glided thru the water on their morning swim. Explored old town Basel with Steff and Nancy getting in our steps. Visited the Historisches Museum. Basel is known for its many museums. Thinking of my mom who was from Zurich......Catching up on sleep with this last nap. Taking longer as we get older... wishing you all a good Sunday. Stay safe! Krys

DAY 15 AND 16, SEPTEMBER 10TH AND 11TH AMSTERDAM AND HOME

Image
 I should first mention that Thursday, the 9th, when we arrived in Amsterdam we walked to our hotel about 1.5 kilometers. Upon arrival we found that the person who booked it didn't take into account the steep narrow steps to reception followed by many many many additional steps to our fourth floor rooms. I don't want to embarrass anyone so I will keep the name of the person who booked it private, but his first name begins Ch. It really looked great in the pictures and it was actually fine for our two nights in Amsterdam. Friday the 10th started out with a light breakfast in the room then a leisurely walk to the Van Gogh Museum. It was time for the second visit of the vacation to the q-tip dispensary where a lovely lady thoroughly examined or noses so we could fly home Saturday. While we gratefully passed our exams Lieven and Marian went to the modern art museum, they passed on this test. We grabbed a bite to eat at a sidewalk café on one of the canal bridges treating ourselves ...

DAY 9 and 10 The 6th and 7th day onboard

Image
 I'm a little behind with posting, this lifestyle of the rich and famous doesn't leave much time for sitting down at the computer to type. The morning of day 6 of our cruise found us with a small group taking a walking tour of old Cologne ending with a trip to the cathedral. We arrived at the cathedral too late to enter as they had just started a private service. It is after all the local parish church. Most of Cologne was destroyed by the allies during WWII as it was a heavy manufacturing city. The cathedral was not destroyed although the entire town around it was. The competing schools of thought is either divine intervention or the fact that it was reference point for the bombers. Spent time in the main square for a pastry and some people watching. Then it was back on board for the final day of cruising. Day 7 found us in Amsterdam with a full day of activities! After our usual great breakfast headed out for a short ride to the Rijksmuseum. Our wonderful guide was extremely ...
