Adventures on a #riverboatcruise along the #Danube during #Christmas was amazing. I went on #vivacruises for a great all-inclusive ride to visit European #ChristmasMarkets. Highly recommend. #TravelAddict #solotravel #travel #cardtrips

We were in Speyer today and elected to stay in town rather than go on the offered Heidelberg tour.

The Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site (like Köln and Aachen) and has 1000+ years of history and a crypt full of emperors and kings. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #speyer

Yesterday our cruise stopped in Boppard, the city where I studied German at a Goethe-Institut in 1987.

It was neat to be back, but a bit strange. After 38 years things change (new train station, Goethe-Institut closed) and memory gets fuzzy. 1/3

…and our cruise is over. Had a great time and very much enjoyed our time on the Rhine on Viva Moments.

Now waiting in the lounge for our taxi to the train station and then our train to Frankfurt. We’ll overnight there and fly home tomorrow morning. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #VivaMoments

I haven't been to Mass, let alone a Christmas Mass, in decades, but if you're in Mainz on Christmas Eve, it seems like going to the Cathedral is as good a time as any to go.

The museum also has a Soviet Buran shuttle. It is OK-GLI which was used for glide testing and atmospheric flight for landing after reentry. This model included jet engines so that it could take off under its own power. I never thought I'd see one in person. #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises

We went on the ship's waking tour with a great local guide. After the tour we stayed in town so I could walk up to where the Goethe-Institut was (and get a cardio workout going up the hill). Unfortunately we were there on Sunday so nothing was open. 2/3

What we did do, however, was recreate some photos from both my time here in 1987 and Kristin's mom's visit in 1978.

I need to combine mine later, but Kristin combined hers. 3/3 #ChristmasInGermany25 #Boppard #VivaCruises
Four photos in one. The top left and right show the Römerburg Hotel and Restaurant in 1978z The bottom left and right show it today. The upper right shows Kristin's mother and in the one below it, Kristin is standing where her Mom was s47 years earlier.

After the Cathedral, we ate at the Christmas Market that runs the length of Maximilianstraße from Cathedral to the Old Gate. We had a Langos, half-meter bratwurst (they double it up on the roll), and two Glühwein (one blueberry, one cherry). #ChristmasInGermany25 #VivaCruises #speyer

Our FIRST ever river cruise continues.
We explore Regensburg, sail the Danube, and arrive in beautiful Passau in the sunshine.
But here’s the question…
Are river cruises relaxing… or just BORING? 🤔
