We made it to Amsterdam!
8/28/22 - 8/28/22
Russ has gotten behind in his blogging so I am going to catch you up on where we are. We made it to Amsterdam this morning. We are very thankful as when we started this trip the water level in the Rhine River was so low Viking was making contingency plans to bus us to change ships the last half of our trip. That would have been a logistical nightmare!
Before we got here we spent a day in Cologne Germany. Cologne was first formed in 50 AD as a Roman colony so it is OLD. I wish we had more time there. The cathedral was really beautiful. We spent that afternoon visiting a few palaces. Yesterday we were in Kinderdjiik, the Netherlands visiting some old wind mills; not my favorite thing but Russ loved it. The tour guide was a mechanical engineer so you can imagine how that convo went. I found the gift ship while I waited. This afternoon we visited the Ann Frank House and Museum in Amsterdam. Tomorrow we will see a couple of art museums and Tuesday we will travel home.
Farewell Europe!
