We got up this morning and had a beautiful breakfast in the hotel. We sat
out on the Terrace enjoying the Rhine River. The breakfast was buffet style but
you also could order eggs – any style. This hotel is probably one of the best
hotels we have ever stayed in. They treat you like Royalty and I certainly
could get used to this! We then spent the day walking around town and as the
hotel gave us “mobility tickets”, we could ride public transit in any form, so
we hopped on a streetcar and just stayed on the one car until it did a complete
loop of the city and we were able to see where the locals live and other parts
of the city we wouldn’t normally have an opportunity to see. It was really
quite interesting. We walked around the stores but everything here is so
expensive, it really isn’t worth buying anything but nevertheless is fun to walk
around the stores. I don’t know how much walking we did today but it must have
been miles and after supper tonight, we were all feeling pretty sore and tired.
I have a few pictures I will post of things we found around town. We are not
sure what we will do tomorrow as we have one more full day here before we board
the Riverboat on Friday which is the highlight of this trip (of course!)
One of the neat things that we have watched people do is they float down the
Rhine River, being pulled along by the current. They have these bags that you
can buy, can’t remember what they call them, but you put all your belongings in
the this waterproof bag, roll it up which then makes it waterproof and buoyant
and you float along with this bag so when you get further down the river and
want to get out, you have all your dry clothes/belongings with you and then don’t
have to walk back to where you started to get your things. We
asked where we could buy these bags but unfortunately the store someone directed
us to had sold out. We were thinking about trying it tomorrow as it really
looks like a lot of fun. We are going to ask around and see if there is another
place to buy these bags.
Here is a synopsis of a few pictures I took today.....
