The while-we-wait-for-river-cruises photo quiz

[Canal archive]

Okay slept in this morning really frosty here.
I’d like - river - city and names if possible.

During our cruises with Scenic we’ve had some superb tour guides and I remember this one was especially ‘off the wall’. CA

yippee!! or wow 100 pages.

Excitement

just for the 100 ....

 

[notamermaid]

A late good morning to you! After 11am here.... An utterance of joy and excitement on seeing the 100 on the thread page count.

 

But first things first, celebration when I am back at the computer.

 

I know these two gentlemen, when I realized the blackboard is at a pub door in the old town of the city whose bells you can hear in the Netherlands according to dumbfounded Dutchmen ( @Renmar  I love the expression), it was easy. But I am not going to say...

 

In that area on the Rhine it hardly gets any more iconic than those two talking to each other.

Rhine, Cologne. These characters are Tünnes and Schäl  from the Hänneschen-Theater (we were told we could touch them for good luck).

If correct, I will call another wild card.

Dogs4fun absolutely right. CA

Just to keep it going wild card where is this city river location!

it’s horribly cropped otherwise it would have been even easier to guess. CA

Any restaurant at any city along any river on any continent. Kidding, no idea.

100!

 

Thank you for taking this thread to this page. In photos we have travelled the world, seen the weird and the wonderful, the beautiful and the meaningful, the amazing and the awe-inspiring places you have been to.

 

It has been fun and fabulous!

 

And we are not stopping yet. After all – we are still waiting for river cruises to start again!

 

Thank you all. 😊

Thank you @notamermaidfor starting this thread.  It's been great seeing the views from others eyes.

 

Post #2484... or at least I should be, but it says #2476?

When you first post, you get some wonky number on your new post.  If you refresh the screen, it will change to the correct number.

[notamermaid]

The photo. I was thinking: "How is the guy going to fill so many dishes with so little food that he is preparing?"

 

So, this is either a fancy food tasting session or he is preparing confectionery. I say a patisserie anywhere in France.

Notamermaid nearly there, some of you foodies or gastronomics put your thinking hats on. You just need the river, city and site now. CA

[notamermaid]

Right, enee, menee, minee, mow... the Rhone?

 

notamermaid

 

P.S. I know the rhyme is not spelled correctly and the autocorrect was trying hard to tell me what to do, but I have beaten it into submission.

[notamermaid]

@Host Jazzbeau this is weird with that number 2476, it appears again. It will go with refreshing, but a quirky software thing!

 

Thanks for the 2500 thing @Renmar, will need Jazzbeau's assistance perhaps, which he has kindly offered, counter might jump during the night and I just cannot write bleary-eyed at 8am...

Auto correct, predictive text is helping my spelling no end ‘NOT’ but it is helping my eyesight and speed reading! CA

 

It is on the Rhône

What about the Paul Bocuse Institute in Lyon?

[Canal archive]

Bingo got it right. The food was superb (I suppose it had to be) 

This is the original. 

Over to you jpalbny. CA

I wouldn't have guessed in a million years. 😏

I actually thought Lyon because it is definitely a foodie place. But since I’m not a foodie I couldn’t identify the location. 

[Canal archive]

This was on our first South of France cruise and the weather just got hotter and hotter. The tour of the institute was excellent and I would do it again. My DH bought me a recipe book, I do collect them, I must admit to not making anything from it but have picked up loads of ideas. CA

[jpalbny]

I haven't been there but it was an option on our Rhône cruise. So it was a bit of mind reading, and hoping that CA would post the obvious and not the obscure. 

 

Here's one. Not a river cruise port, but it's where you must meet up to take a certain river cruise. 

 

City, place, and what river cruise?

 

[dogs4fun]

Is that the ruins of the Peruvian pyramid in Lima? Huaca Pucllana? Amazon River?

[Renmar]

Alexandria for a Nile cruise?

Yes. You have to fly into Lima to get to Iquitos for cruises on the Peruvian Amazon.

2500!

 

 

Let us celebrate with full fireworks and (a somewhat modern) Beethoven. The stay at home version of Bonn Rhine in Flames fireworks display 2020. In the hope that we can soon see such events live again:
