Hi Folks
we are back home. Will be writing my tour tales later but I just have to say that the river cruise was absolutely fantastic. Food amazing, crew exemplary and the land tours arranged efficiently with enough knowledge from local guides and free time to explore by ourselves. I would recommend this form of holiday travel to all. We had 114 people on board and had time during meals and 'happy hour' to meet and get to know quite a number of them.
Have to go and put most of the things in my case in the wash now and then shower. Got home 6pm last night and was 'out like a light' at 8pm!

met one couple on cruise that have done 14 river cruises! They have tried a few different companies but said that Avalon in the best, so an excellent recommendation.
Only downer of our whole trip - I caught a plane cold on the long flights home. Many people coughing & sneezing. I tried to fend it off with my natural remedies and thought I had. Yesterday I wasn't that bad which was good as we had to do a grocery shop, but last night and early this morning I could hardly breathe and kept coughing. Calmed down now and the sun is shining so I am sitting and relaxing. Tour tales will have to wait and my head is all 'fuzzy' 🙄

Nice to hear that you enjoyed your river cruise. I was on the Rhine river one last year with Avalon and thought it was fantastic. Looking forward to reading your review.

Finally completed the first part of our River Cruise tale. I have split it into two parts as it was quite a long cruise. Avalon Part 1 I have completed the written part of Part 2 but sorting out the photos is taking some time |

not that hard after practice I suppose. He got some of the passengers up to try which gave the rest of us some laughs, but it was all good fun. I was not game enough to give it a go. |
