This driver lost control of these beautiful animals just as I was about to cross in front of him. The reins had come loose and the animals were not being told where to go. The jangle of a harness being flung around and hooves being clomped down can be quite breathtaking and attention getting!
Above is a picture of my shipmates taking photos of the vast vineyards in Germany. Such wonderful wines they do have!
As most of us know, Germany is taking the lead in renewable energy. These were HUGE!
The tiny town of Passau, maybe 50,000 people, seemed to have an unusual number of doctors!!
This was the only shop where I was yelled at for taking a photo...ooops...too late! Clearly the doctor above is not helping with the stress of some of the folks here.

When we lived in Germany we learned to enjoy German white wines. But I can't get them where I live now.
ReplyDeleteI really think we might enjoy that cruise you were on. Maybe some day...
You sure saw a lot of beautiful places
ReplyDeleteLovely hats, I wonder if the shop owner thought you were going to go home and whip up a matching selection?
ReplyDeleteI have just read all your trip posts. I have the impression that you would recommend these river cruises across central Europe and that you had a very interesting (if tiring) time.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I will finally have to book myself on one - solo - because Beloved isn’t keen.
I’d relish the history, most of which I know and finding the places to add to book learning would be a great experience. I also know most of the foods - obviously - but haven’t eaten them for years. Heavens above, I’d come home a stone heavier.
Thanks for all the information, you’ve given me a lot to think about.
I have friends who've taken this trip and loved it. I think in one instance it was actually partially a biking trip - they would get off, bike a portion, and be picked up again by the boat.
ReplyDeleteYou really make me want to book this cruise.
ReplyDeleteLarge wind turbines are noisy gov(our tax $) funded bird killers!
ReplyDeleteHave always loved hats. Understandably the hat Shop keeper most likely thought you were going to copy the designs.
Feel free to dump more vacation pictures if you want. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the hat shop. Those "fascinators" are fascinating. I had to look twice to figure out that you were taking the vineyard photo from the top deck of the river boat.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a nice trip. My sister-in-law is headed for Italy in a week's time...slightly jealous.
ReplyDeleteI kinda wish I lived in a world were I could wear hats like that. Fun, the way you ended the post!
