BikeTreker Posted November 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2018 My wife, two friends and I just returned from our November 4, 2018 Viking Rhine River Cruise. The trip was very nice; even swapping boats was not a problem. We traveled from Amsterdam to Basel and every stop was great. For those of you who are interested, I am posting on my blog a day-by-day journal. You can find it at http://www.travelswithcappy.com. Let me know what you think. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Cruiser Posted November 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2018 How timely you should post this! To make a long story short, my cousin and her daughter recently lost their husband/father, so have booked a trip to Amsterdam for Christmas/New Year's, as somewhere that holds no family memories for them, so as to mark a starting point in their new lives. I was there a generation ago, so can't be of much help to them directly for ideas of what to see and do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTreker Posted November 25, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thanks Geezer. I hope your family enjoys Amsterdam as much as we did. It's a great city and certain to take their minds off their recent loss. Also, thanks to Sawtooth for your reply. I will be posting more or less daily as I finish and edit my photos and words. I just posted Cologne. Next up is Marksburg's Castle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTreker Posted November 27, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I just posted "Viking River Boats, Hlin and Kara, and swapping on the Rhine." Take a look for photos of the two boats and for my description of our boat swap. Swapping is far preferable to the alternative and the swap was accomplished with a minimum of disruption. The blog is located at www.travelswithcappy.com. Edited November 27, 2018 by BikeTreker To include link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTreker Posted December 6, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi Everyone, I posted Colmar yesterday only to find out that there was a "glitch" and apparently my post disappeared. Sorry! I repaired the problem and it should be working now. Let me know what you think. I am now working on Basel and Lucerne and hope to have them up soon.

Those are wonderful pictures, especially of Colmar, a lovely town which I know well having lived not far from there for three years. Alsace is one of my favourite regions of France. It’s too bad you didn’t have a chance to see the magnificent Retable d’Issenheim at the Unterlinden Museum there. It’s one of the glories of mediaeval art and many people travel to Colmar principally to see it. Perhaps you will have an opportunity another time. For those who are reading this and will be visiting Colmar in the future, they should certainly try to fit in a visit to the Underlinden to see it. I’m quite enjoying your blog as your narrative and photos back fond memories of the many places you stopped along the Rhine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeTreker Posted December 16, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Well, after quite a bit of time, I finished Strasbourg. It’s out of order but better late than never. You can find it a travelswithcappy.com. I hope you like it. Just one more post to go. It should be up tomorrow at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeTreker Posted December 17, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted December 17, 2018 For those of you who have been following our Rhine River journey, I have posted my last entry. I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. While I do this for my friends, family and me, I also do it for those of you who are interested in travel and find the experiences of others interesting. Let me know what you think; constructive criticism is always welcome. You can find my blog at travelswithcappy.com. Our next trip is in January to the Caribbean and April 2019 will find us in Japan. Happy Holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
