Rare jpalbny Posted May 27, 2021 #4401 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Hm. Is it the plague cemetery (Aitre Saint-Maclou) in Rouen? Seine River. If so, when we tried to visit in 2018, there were extensive renovations going on so we could not see these details.

Canal archive Posted May 27, 2021 #4402 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Correct jpalbny it’s a fascinating place. So over to you. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 27, 2021 #4403 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It was interesting though I was disappointed that it was under construction. Actually all of Rouen fascinated me. The age of the city really stood out and Normandy is so different from other parts of France. And it also seemed that they spoke a little slower and thus I could understand more. I had a long conversation with a guy in the cathedral who was telling me how lucky we were to be there on this particular weekend because museums were free, and so many exhibits were open that usually were not. Would love to go back and spend more time there. Anyway. Sorry for the delay posting. I had to run around nonstop today at work because I'm off for the next 2+ weeks. Lots of loose ends to tie up. Here is a picture of a beautiful place to relax. Name the location, city and river too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal archive Posted May 28, 2021 #4406 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Is it on the Rhine? CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 28, 2021 #4407 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Not the Rhine It's a nice oasis, just outside of a city where river cruises are frequent. Easily reachable by public transportation. They serve a beverage very typical of this region, of which I will share a photo as a hint if more clues are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted May 28, 2021 #4408 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Definitely not Holland, too hilly for that. There is a saying that the highest point in the Netherlands is the overpass on the freeway 😁. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted May 28, 2021 #4409 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I’m partial to Frankfurt - would that beverage be apfelwein? Edited May 28, 2021 by dogs4fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogs4fun Posted May 28, 2021 #4411 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Lohrpark perhaps? I don’t have a photo either.😔 I thought I spied Commerzbank Tower in the distance. Edited May 28, 2021 by dogs4fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 29, 2021 #4412 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Lohrpark it is! We escaped here via a tiny bus that ran every 45 minutes or so. Just enough time to enjoy a glass of Apfelwein and catch the next one back to the city. Love the diamond pattern on the wine glasses. Your turn, or a wild card if you'd like.

Rare notamermaid Posted May 29, 2021 Author #4416 Share Posted May 29, 2021 @dogs4fun Well done. I thought of Frankfurt last night but it was too late for me to post. I am off to work now as well so would not have time for photo or giving clues. Frankfurt has some nice spots and JP has done it again - taking us out of the agglomeration of a city to look onto it. 🙂 Lohrberg looks attractive, not been there myself either. notamermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted May 29, 2021 #4418 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Apfelwein (Ebbelwoi) that we had in Frankfurt was not too strong. More comparable to beer in terms of the alcohol level. So yes, an 0.3 or 0.5L serving is a good start. 😄 It was really not bad to get to Lohrberg. I had downloaded the public transport app so once you find your stop, the app tells you how to get there. I think we took a tram out to the edge of town somewhere to catch the bus. But the bus was funny - it wasn't your typical city bus. It was about half the size. Guess the route isn't popular enough to merit a full-sized bus, or maybe the streets around the park are small. Since the bus had to enter the park to turn around, maybe that's why it was a small one. And don't give me all the credit. Chris finds all of these nice places to go. I just get us there.

CPT Trips Posted May 31, 2021 #4425 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) It would be difficult to be farther from the actual location in Europe. Go west. It’s on a river, but not one served by river cruise lines (at least to my knowledge). Edited May 31, 2021 by CPT Trips Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
