Thank You!!!

Canal archive, I would love to have the recipe for Elisenlebkuchen, if it is one of the recipes. This is the flourless cookie that I make during the holidays. I am gluten free so I bake on Silpat instead of edible paper. Thank you, Deana

It will depend on where you dock but I think it should not be a problem. The fee to enter was part of our tour, a very special Christmas Market. When we were there a bus took us because a lock was broken. We have docked near downtown on a summer stop. Second seating

In Regensburg try to see the Romantic Christmas Market at Schloss Thurn and Taxis. This is one of my favorites! Second seating

I am partial to nutcrackers, this picture is from Dresden 2017 I think!

A view from the bar in the Electra Metropolis!

We stayed at the Electra Metropolis after a SeaDream cruise in August 2022 very nice. I think there might be two nearby with similar names this is the one we stayed at! Electra Metropolis Address: Mitropoleos 15, Athens, 10557, Greece

Valrhona is on my list! I have used their cocoa for years and have gifted their chocolate. Second seating

Picture of the same bridge in May! We were there years ago in October. Second seating

If you are doing a pre or post stay, some hotels have fresh trees in their lobbies like this one in Rothenburg ob Tauber. This small hotel had trees on every floor. A lot of fresh greens in the markets! Second seating

Remember in December Europe is dark around 4:30!

After cruising on Uniworld the large ships lost us! We now prefer Windstar!!! They are larger than a river cruise but acceptable in size and great food!

Got2Cruise "St Marks Basilica for a private entrance for the Uniworld pax only." This was spectacular, we did this cruise the second season it was offered. We were docked where we could walk to St. Marks. Second seating

Google maps on my phone (Verizon) worked well in Brugge's until it didn't! At that time we were glad we had a paper map!!! Second seating

Just take your patience and pack a few extra clothes in your carry on!!! We have had a few delays, thankfully our luggage has made it to our destinations! Enjoy your trip! Second seating

I am gluten free and Windstar does an excellent job! They really go out of their way on this, I see a menu the night before to make my choices. If there is ever a question someone can get a quick answer. Second seating

The decor would not be my choice at home!! That said, the bedding is the best, the food suits this foodie and I like have access to a washer and dryer! My 10th cruise with Uniworld is next May! Second seating

The Botanical garden in Leiden is spectacular! Second seating

Windstar is wonderful with gluten free and I am a foodie!!! Uniworld has better GF bread, but Windstar is one of our favorites we leave for our 5th Windstar cruise next month. Second seating

Badger Dad, Thank you, we are signed up for the Windstar trip, like you we want to make sure we get back to the ship. Deana and Richard from NH.

The Bacous Int. looks great but the amateur courses are 3 weeks! We will spend most of our time pre cruise in Marseille, I look forward to seeing the bridge. Second seating

We are about to book the Uniworld France Cruise from Arles to Lyon April 2024, this itinerary looks very interesting. This is combined with a Cooking vacation for me. No river cruise this year a Windstar starting in Bordeaux and December trip to the Netherlands and Belgium! Second seating
