“To wander is to be alive.” - Roman Payne

Part 2 of this journey

This is the second journey of our long planned 4 trip retirement adventure.  First we went to Vietnam and Cambodia now Europe, then next year we are off to Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.

Itinerary   

We start our journey in Amsterdam. We have rented an apartment in a canal house right on the Prinsengracht canal or Prince's canal. The apartment is the top floor of a 17th century canal house. Many of Amsterdam’s canal houses were built during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, serving as home and workplace, and were distinguished by the striking gables and dual entrances.

We then board the "Amaprima" in Amsterdam for an 7 day cruise down the Rhine River disembarking in Basel, Switzerland.

We will be stopping in Cologne, Germany, Rudesheim, Germany, Heidelberg, Germany,  Strasbourg, France, Breisach, Germany and ending our cruise in Basel, Switzerland.

Many of these towns date back to the 13th century with cobbled streets, castles and cathedrals

Then we travel travel to Zurich to get our flight back to the US.
