| Note how low the river is. |
I didn't go in to Strasbourg because I thought it would be too strenuous after two walking tours of me falling behind the group and getting "winded" on the hills. Rebecca's photos are beautiful and I was correct in staying behind---I've seen beautiful German towns and although this was French, the photos looked like dozens of German towns I've been in. They limited the number in the L group and I decided I would make space for someone who hadn't lived in Germany or visited five-six times over the years. We didn't know what they limited until everyone got back. It was so strenuous up a hill that they sent taxis to bring the L group back down to the bus. (I love how thoughfult Viking is---they took great care of us).
So, I stayed on the ship and was surprised when I realized we were moving. We had been moored on a canal and the view was pretty dull, but we moved to the main channel of the river and "cozied" next to another Viking ship. I was confused on what was happening until I saw a gangplank connecting the two ships. Later, I noticed people filing on board----across one ship, onto a gangplank and into our ship. This arrangement happened several times on the trip due to the rivers being low.
I had done some hand washing of clothes on my "free" day and had thought I could hang them outside---who would see them? Well, as close as our ship was to the other ship, I smirked when I saw someone had done just that! (not zoomed---that close)
