Cologne

Hi all,
Today we are in Cologne Germany famous the perfume 4711 Ice Cologne, remember it? It is also the 4th biggest city in Germany. Also the the home to Bayer the big pharmaceutical company that make lots of drugs. (no not that sort).


We got to take a another walking tour around the city. After that was a tour of the markets where we had some more gluhwein. We did check out another huge church here unreal they are inside.






It was cold raining and windy so we were not all that comfortable, so we did what we could and headed back the the warm ship.

We headed off shortly after lunch on our way to Amsterdam. We crossed the border into the Netherlands around 8pm and are slowing sailing down stream. We will arrive there in the morning to take 2 tours.
Bayer stack (maybe not in use anymore)

Tonight we raged a bit. Sang in the choir on board singing Christmas carols then after dinner we had a bit of a dance and sang along to some modern music.

elephants in Germany??

Short and sweet tonight.

take care all -- Keep living your dreams

The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...

Hervey Bay and the case of the missing whales.

We had not planned to do too much traveling in the first half of the year, but we quickly discovered that us making that decision and the government telling us that we won't are two very different things. :-). Feeling the need for a bit of a break, and a touch of fishing we headed for Hervey Bay on Wednesday. We had a great drive up, even managed to stop for a quick chat with the lovely Shirley in Cooya.   On Thursday we headed for a quick trip to the information centre.  To my surprise Robbie wanted to book another whale watching cruise.  We spoke at length to the agent there and finally chose what was supposed to be the calmest day for the next week.  It was then off for a drive along the coast line from Point Vernon to Urangan.   The day was beautiful, though there were large patches of mist/fog that hung around some of the ...
