Getting ready to leave for a Viking river cruise from Basel down the Rhine to Amsterdam. Won't be close enough to visit Uwe but have never done anything like this before, so I'm looking forward to my first visit to Europe. Will attempt to bring back random photos of old castles and possibly beer (bier).
Be well, will check in when I get a chance. And anyone I see on the trip with a WSU logo gets a hearty "Go, COUGS!"
That sounds like an incredible trip.
Safe travels.
Enjoy...!
I've seen those Viking river cruises advertised on TV in the UK, they look amazing, I'm sure you'll ave a great time
Sounds like a dream vacation.
That will be a great trip. All those Viking cruises are excellent.
Enjoy!
Let me know when you're in Amsterdam. If I've got time I can guide you around the music stores ;)
Have a great trip Al!

As long as it doesn't come with a Viking funeral.

Just got there! At the Movenpick near Central Station. Feel free to send me a pm. We could use ideas for Monday, as we're leaving early Tuesday.
Monday is my 68th birthday! I think I'll encourage JoAnn to buy me a good Dutch beer!
Have a great time!
And don't get run over by any bike-riding Dutchmen. :)
Happy birthday. Enjoy your stay in Amsterdam.
I hope you're having a happy birthday in Amsterdam!
Hammer of the Gods!

Amsterdam is indeed a good place to never cross a strip of pavement (even 3 feet wide) before looking both ways for bike riders - and scooters! The UNESCO site with windmills is pretty wonderful, and well worth seeing. The ruined castle in Heidelberg is quite a site. Let's face it, there's very cool stuff everywhere on that trip.
I was very impressed by Cologne, especially the cathedral at night as we motored downriver - it is illuminated and towered over the old town, looking like a ghost cathedral in the sky. And the good folks there know how to drink Kolsch, nice and cold in 200 ML glasses that are refilled as long as you leave he top of the glass uncovered. Lovely way to have good beer.
I'd post a couple of pix but they're all over 500KB and the site doesn't allow that. I've tried changing the image size but the file size doesn't change. I can't figure out how to reduce the file size so they will upload.

Try to make it up to Dusseldorf for some Altbier if you can. Pleasant Journeys.

Thanks! I'm downloading and will test drive it. I know that my old favorite Irfanview can do this, but darned if I can figure out where it's hiding in the program.
