Week 1

We have been to London and toured the city somewhat and had an adventure trying to get back to the hotel. After several attempts we made it. The next date left for Amsterdam from Dover via ferry. Amsterdam is about 2,million people with 1.5 million bicycles, which have the right of way. An interesting city of canals which we toured by boat.

Next to Cologne. Germany where we visited the Cathedral that took 600 yrs to build and somehow survived the bombings of WWll while everything around it was destroyed. Later a cruise on the Rhine River and then on to Mannheim for another overnight.

The next day we stopped at Heidelberg and walked the city and enjoyed a framers market complete with fresh fish van and a meat market with butcher. Then to Munich and then to Innsbruck for the night. Sunday we went to Venice stopping at Verona and viewed among another things Juliets balcony from Romeo and Juliet.

Today we spent the entire day in Venice, very interesting and will write more later as am running out of computer time.

More later
