I have been off air for a while as Mary and I have been on a river cruise with the mother-in-law. It was a
Page and Moy cruise on the
MV Serenade 1. As such my expectations were modest - a Granny cruise full of white haired old dears. Which is pretty much what we got but in fact it was OK although I am not sure I would necessarily repeat it.
I had not holidayed in Germany before, the cruise took us through some beautiful scenery, we tasted a number of wines and visited some interesting cities:
- Amsterdam
- Cologne
- Bonn
- Rudesheim
- Cochem
- Alken
- Koblenz
- Dusseldorf
- Arnhem
- Amsterdam (again)
The rooms were 4 star hotel quality but of necessity small, the food was good though the scales told me that a week of cooked breakfast, four course lunch and four course dinner with wine may have been more than was strictly needed to keep body and soul together :-(
One thing it did bring home is the importance of good diet and good posture. I have never seen so may people whose heads hung forward like a hump backed tortoise, with a gut hanging over the belt.
Pictures to follow once I has winnowed out the chaff and selected a few representative images...
