We cruise to Cologne

As the reality that our holiday on these mighty European rivers is almost over ,I ask myself the question was it worth it. The answer is absolutely, we continue down the magestic Rhine river to Cologne some 75 kms closer to the final destination where we will spend time , some will explore this city and others will go to Bonn. We've chosen the Bonn option some 40 minutes away,and this will be our last road trip before returning to the ship. With the bus half full of weary travelers we hit the road for Bonn the home town of Ludwig van Beethoven , not WADDAS favourite all time greatest muso but not to bad anyway. My heart is not quite into the hustle & bustle anymore so it must be close to going home time ,the beautiful countries I've traveled to and passed through will be forever etched in my mind . On our return to the ship a quick tidy up then it's off to the captains farewell cocktail party, do you mind. The good ship MV AMAVERDE sails for Amsterdam at 1930 a journey of some 297 kms ,this river is very busy and flows extremely fast so we should make a fair mile during the night. Tomorrow the temperature is expected the be 33c in Amsterdam so sightseeing should be very pleasant when we arrive about lunchtime, maybe a trip to the clog factory or the red light district or WADDA might even pick some tulips who knows.  ..........WADDA
