Here are more views of our recent river cruise from Amsterdam to Vienna. The rivers traveled on included the following: Rhine, Moselle, Mainz and the Danube.

Cat's ~ I am just loving your pics. Thanks!

Nice!

Thanks Cat's. Looks like a tranquil, relaxing way to travel - and very picturesque!

Lovely photos Cats. Did you find it relaxing on the river cruise?

That was one of Mum's favourite trips, cruising the Rhine. Pity she never owned a camera.

It does look wonderful. The river cruises must be very relaxing.

Hi Cat ~ Your pictures are magnificent, they bring back wonderful memories, thank you for sharing them.

Penny1... I think we saw you biking on the path in the photo of Durnstein.

Jenno...It was so much more relaxing on the river cruise.

Hi Cat,

no not I said the fly.

We leave next Tuesday and will be on our bikes after we arrive in Zurich on the 20th...can't wait. It was a trip down the Rhine and Danube and 2004 which started us on this journey and dream.

Your photos captured what we saw and set the dream in motion...we saw cyclists too and thought. "That's us".

With touring cyclists in the family we thought if the youngins can do it, so can we.

You are game Penny! I get a sore backside on a bike fairly quickly I'm afraid. Friends of ours are cyclists too and some years ago decided to bike around Malaysia. Well, after 3 days of being chased constantly by dogs, she was in tears and so they left and flew to the Greek Islands! I'm sure Europe will be much more enjoyable!

This is tame compared to what the youngins have done. They have adventure as second names.

Had I not done a TT and a boat ride on the Rhine I would never be leaving next Tuesday.

Get yourself a gel seat and ride everyday...the backside soon quits complaining.

Penny, we always wanted to do a bicycle trip in Europe but I fear I am no longer in good enough condition. To me it seems monumental to pack and ship a bicycle and everything that goes with it, tools etc.
My husband and friend are talking about cycling in Oregon and I might participate for some of the easier parts. This would only include putting the bikes on the roof of the car.
When we were much younger we bicycle camped around Prince Edward Island and it was very enjoyable except for 1 furious dog.

I hope you have a very good time and no rain . I would like to hear about it afterwards.

Cat's, these photos are great! Thank you sooo much for sharing them!

Marie56, thanks for your kind wishes... I will let you know via PM when we get back.
