Woke to spectacular sunshine. .... cool but perfect. Toured medieval town. Lovely city, such history, WWII salvation and good shopping. Spoons needed. Warning ... Do not read next paragraph unless you have nothing to do ...
We arrived on our new vessel yesterday ... all about high rivers and low bridges. Our 'new' ship was the ship we were meant to begin on originally. It is only their third trip ever having been christened recently by Princess Heidi, who we will visit next week ... But I digress. When asked how dinner was by our new waiter(ie not Katut!), after out first meal, on the 'new' ship I pointed out that eating soup out of tiny bowls with table spoons was not a good experience. Minutes later he returned to me with a dinner plate with every possible spoon on board, including a ladle, asking which I would prefer! I said I would eat their lovely soup with my dessert spoon and wipe it on my napkin and then reuse for dessert!
Returning from the bar at midnight we found our delightful cruise director working at her desk. She asked how dinner was and I made a comment about the spoons! "It was you!" She was in the process of writing an in incident report to APT, as someone had complained about the soup spoons!
I bought her a Bamberg spoon today and a postcard of cutlery (a random find!) writing "just stirrin"!
Afternoon scenic cruising/snoozing! An always lovely dinner which was followed by entertaining medieval music duo. Topped off with me and Rod on the top deck dancing and sipping Cointreau in the city and moon light with perfect river reflections.
Beautiful niece, Julia, engaged to bow, James, today. Lots to celebrate!
Woohoo! And you even got a memo!
