And so endeth our transit of the Kiel canal.I really enjoyed the day.So different to the Panama canal.Although not as difficult terrain this was done in a developed country so even 100 years ago they had to deal with the problems of disrupted roads and railways.A recommended transit. We were now in the Elbe river which starts off in the Czech republic. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed onboard in Amsterdam and entertained family for the day.A neice and her family will be living in Rotterdam for the next 4 years.We learnt something about Australia's sporting prowess from them.They have 2 teenage sons who both have played representative hockey.both have joined the Rotterdam club.The 16 year old is in their under 18 first team and the 13 year old the goalie in the under 18 3rd team.The 13 year old has already had a one on one coaching session with Holland's Olympic goalie coach.No wonder they beat us. An enjoyable dinner with an aussie couple with osso buco as the main course. Next Zeebrugge and Bruges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted October 3, 2016 Author #336 Share Posted October 3, 2016 We took the walking tour of Bruges from Silverseas.on this occasion it was not much more than getting the port shuttle into Bruges and doing things yourself.We also ended up having a very good guide on the walking tour. The country on the drive from the port to Bruges was flat but obviously productive- .. Even before our tour there were some lovely buildings.Autumn colour was starting to appear. .. Part of the old city walls which have become a bike path- .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted October 4, 2016 Author #338 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks for all the comments. Normally I have thousands of shots of the sunset but on this cruise 2 beautiful sunrises-going into St.Petersburg the second time and this entrance to Zeebruge.I must try and get up earlier but on with the show. Now we start our walk from the bus parking area into the city- .. .. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
