Venice, Italy

IMG_1501

We will be flying into this beautiful city tonight.  We have been here several times, but that was before the age of digital cameras and photos stored on the computer, so this one is compliments of Empress Bee

Tomorrow we board the Royal Princess to begin our lovely new adventure.  Come along and join us!

Sat. Riding the rails...

Moved our bags to a nearby inn, then spent a few hours riding the train along the Rhine and Mosel Rivers enjoying the beautiful scenery. Severe clear and slightly warm today...perfect! Klaus is serving up our final dinner here. Sunday we train up to D'dorf for our flight to Venice. Life is good!

Saturday stuff

Cykel 291

We have to say goodbye to the birdies and this fine inn and move to another place today.  No room in the inn!  Oh well, we will find something, have no fear.  Thanks for the photos, Brian!

Rhine mini-cruise

Cykel 217

Have a look at the dining room here at the inn. 

Dick found online where Rhine River cruises are discounted for ‘seniors’ on Monday and Friday, so the plan is to take a half day cruise today.  I hope the weather cooperates!

Friday float

Perfect day for a scenic Rhine adventure. We are about to depart on this ship for a few hours...wish you were here! Life is good!!!

Cheers from Boppard!

Our inn hosts invited all the guests to a Rhine overlook, complete with wine and sausages...and rain. Oh well. Dick and I cycled along the Rhine this morning. Life is GOOD! Cheers!!!

Boppard accommodations

Cykel 302

Son Brian stayed here on his cycling trip a couple of years ago and recommended we stay here, so this is home for a few nights.  As long as we are near water, we are happy campers and the mighty Rhine River is nearby.  It is calling us!
