        Our friends the Lokes are on a river cruise in Europe. There have been concerns about the river being shallow

        The captain said last night he had 10 cm between bottom of ship & bottom of river while we slept     Wow.   We are so lucky they had enough rain to get us up the river  made it through all the locks. & the captain is on time. Will be in Basel in am tour & then bus to Zürich got 2 nights.   Met many lovely people. Wonderful staff ,  very clean ship work hard keep us on time.  Great guides & tours but also free time.   Meals Have been wonderful & tasty.  Good wine good cruise good friends. K ready to go home   tomorrow in Basel looks cool.  Weather has been awesome except the huge downpour inParis.   TheRhine had some rain to save the day. Gluten nacht

          Soooooo..Last night in Europe!!!  Great times but good to be going home tomorrow am.

          Had a fine day in Zurich and were able to revisit some places we went to at Xmas Markets in 2015.  Evening before we had fine Italian fare close to our hotel.  Today we spent most of our time in the Bahnhoff Station . It has a huge mall on three levels below ground……nice but oh so expensive.

          Also went to the old town for lunch and then back to the hotel.

          Capped off the day at the main floor of the bahnhoff where there was a beer garden and the beginning of a Swiss Octoberfest.  Had real traditional Wurst , roast potato and BEER.  Fun and good but we were in the  quiet part away from the “prosit” and the smoke.

          We are very impressed with Viking River once again.  They treat you GOOD!!!!!!    Even at the hotel we were provided with 24 hour pass on the tram system.  Very good for 70 year old knees.
          We fly out early am direct to Vancouver on Air Canada.  Next day home to Isle Lovely.
