River Cruise Down the Rine and Mosel Rivers, September 2017

We met up with our river boat for the cruise in Basel after our week in Switzerland.  The cruise took us to parts of France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.  Along the rivers are numerous castles, some renovated into hotels or expensive residences, but most were in ruin.  We toured several the Heidelberg castle in Heidelberg, the Reichsburg castle in Cochem,  had dinner in Satezvy castle outside Cologne. 

We visited the cathedrals in Cologne, Luxembourg, and Trier, had lunch in the casino at Baden Baden, visited the military cemetery in Luxembourg, and visited the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam.  All in all it was 12 wonderful days.
