A boat Trip to Veitshöchheim - Oct. 18, 2018

Trash goes in the trash can, but recyclables are set nearby. Contrast that to our country.

High water marks on the base of the Alter Kranen, a crane built in 1772. The Main River can come way out of its banks.


PA181005 Early morning fog and haze over Wurzburg.

After the sun burned through.

Just another of the reasons why we enjoyed Wurzburg so much the first time, that we had to come back. And it wasn’t because of this boat because we didn’t take this trip the the first time. It is because it is such a beautiful place and the people are wonderful.

Linda took flower photos while we waited to board the boat.

I took photos of Linda taking flower photos.

Cruising down the Main past the vineyards where our favorite wine grows. The harvest is over for the year, but the beauty of the vines is still there.

Selfie of the day. Hoodie Linda was nice and warm, four layers worth of warm.

Bird photo. Cormorant identification by Linda.

The fall colors are out.

After disembarking, we followed the crowd. Passing a table with this inlay, Linda wondered what it was for. I guess she also took a photo of it.


PA181037


Summer residence of the Prince-Bishops. The Schloss was closed, but the real reason to be here was the gardens. At least that is what we read on the internet, so we know it had to be true.


PA181035


The gardeners were busy changing out all the plants.

The bulbs and plants were on this cart. Curious Linda.

I never know what is going to show up when I download Linda’s photos.

Photo of the gardens.

Linda said I looked exactly like the statue in this photo. Wonder where she got that idea?

Later we walked into the small town and peeked inside this church. You don’t have to visit a cathedral to see a beautiful church.

Carving on the end a pew.

Ivy turning red.

Another Linda photo.

Life is good.

Very Good, indeed.

Back at our hotel relaxing in the early evening. A pretty girl and a glass of Silvaner. Happy Linda. Happy Bob.

Around the World in 128 Days - Arrival at Ft. Lauderdale and back home again

Image
  The Cruise is Over - May 11, 2024 - 5,904 Steps It was over months ago we walked out to this same spot shortly after we boarded the ship. Then it was a glorious and joyous afternoon, today it was a glorious but sad morning.  Instead of watching to see if could recognize our luggage being loaded aboard the Zuiderdam, it was watching to see if we could spot it being off loaded. The lineup of trucks bringing provisions for the next sailing that would be leaving a few hours. Trucks were lined up in the far distance awaiting their turn to unload. Port Everglades is a very busy cruise ship terminal. There was a staggering amount of food to be loaded onto the ship. A pallet of apples. A last look at the old home place that served us so well for the past mounts. Literally shutting the door on one of the most awesome adventures we have ever been on. But the fall of next year we will be opening the door on an another one. We patiently waited for our group, Gray 1, to be called. The lu...

Around the world in 128 Days - San Juan, Puerto Rico

  Travel Day 126 - May 8, 2024 - 7,666 Steps Joe and Patrick our room stewards who have gone way beyond and above to not only keep our room in perfect conditions, but also have a great sense of humor. If it looks familiar it's because it the same one I recently read. I mentioned to Linda I thought she would enjoy reading it, and she did. You never know how things like this are going to turn out. It proved to be great from original songs, standup comedians, dancing, musical instruments. There's talent hidden amongst the ship's passengers. It took a while after Jose And Grace were transferred  from the Lido, but in the opposite corner of the Lido we found Lisna, who was every bit as awesome as they were. David's history presentation, proving once again that only a tiny bit of history is about names and dates like we were taught in high school. A cartoon from several centuries ago portraying the effects of consuming too much sugar on the King of England. And it is a slight...

Around the World in 128 Days - At Sea Day Next to Last Day of the Cruise

  Travel Day 127 - May 9, 2024 - 5,904 Steps Gonna miss this view in a few days. With the cruise drawing ever closer to be over, Linda has certainly been glad of the many "Linda" sea days like today.. The laundry always comes back with one of these stickers on each article. Too bad it took until the last week to learn we could have pulled them off when putting the freshly laundered cloths away. All that scratchy itchy underwear!  Linda once again in the front row for Kim's interview. It was the bridge officers turn this morning. There is so much we learned about the operation of the ship from these sessions. David is ending his lectures with one today and tomorrow on Russia. Ivan set the tone for what Russia is even today. Enemies of the Russian ruler are simply killed. It's been that way for over 450 years. The last Tsar. And what came after the tsars was just as bad. It was little things like this which made the voyage so interesting. How one puts a survival suit on...
