Hiked three miles around amazing world of wonders Victoria falls. Of course I was exhausted but our day continued with a visit to a village. We met with the chief who talked our ear off but he meant well. Of course a donation was involved with a purchase of art created by a handicap women. Next we stopped at at least five pharmacies to find a cream that I don't want to leave with out. Lunch at look out cafe was spectacular then off to our lodge for a quick nap. Tonight we're headed to Three Monkeys for dinner. Early walk up call tomorrow we're off to Botswana for a safari in. Chobe!! Can't wait 👍

The Rhine River is one of Europe's most famous waterways, and it's easy to see why:

The river winds through Germany, France, and Switzerland and offers stunning views of castles, vineyards, and other natural wonders.

A cruise on the Rhine offers travelers an intimate glimpse at this UNESCO World Heritage Site while offering plenty of opportunities for sightseeing along the way.

Plus, travelers can enjoy ultimate relaxation and unwind in the comfort of an elegant cruise ship.

Pictured here in the upper left-hand corner is Katz Castle above the German town of St. Goarshausen first built around 1371.

We snapped this photo on our most recent travels sailing the Rhine and we can’t wait to send our clients to see these gorgeous views for themselves!

Last month we spent the perfect day visiting the Alsace countryside driving the famous wine trail route des vins 🍷

The Alsace region can be found in the very eastern side of France in a valley along the Rhine River that separates France and Germany.

We stopped for a wine tasting at Domaine Fritz-Schmitt, greeted by Antoine, the founder’s son, for a tasting of four wines produced on their estate.

We had a fantastic time!

We want to know, do you prefer red wine or white wine?

We had an amazing time in Amsterdam and we can't wait to show you more from our travels as we headed to the Swiss Alps and Italy!

We wanted to share some of the things that we learned about getting around the city so here goes:

#1 I learned the city is in the process of rerouting roads so cars will not be welcome.

#2 Trams are a super easy way too get around!

#3 Bikes have the right away and there are more bike roads then walking paths in Amsterdam.

Overall, It's such a unique place filled with art, history, culture, food and so much more.

I would highly recommend going if you get the chance!

Spending several days in Amsterdam has been an education.

Of course, we had to spend time exploring Amsterdam’s extensive museums.

One such museum we visited was The Rijksmuseum, a Dutch national museum dedicated to arts and history.

The museum is located at the Museum Square in the borough of Amsterdam South, close to the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Concertgebouw.

We loved the model ship section (Model of the William Rex seen here), as well as the large collection of stunning artworks.

We highly recommend downloading the Rijksmuseum App to take advantage of the multimedia tours offered!

Do you visit museums while you travel?

With age comes wisdom, with travel comes understanding.

The world is a big place, with so much to see and do.

Travel takes us out of our comfort zone and allows us to see the world from new perspectives.

The more we travel, the more we understand about ourselves and about others.

I have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and experience many different cultures, but I'm still learning.

What have you learned about yourself from traveling?

River cruising in Belgium is a great way to explore the country's history, culture, and stunning scenery.

From the bustling port of Antwerp to the medieval cities of Bruges and Ghent, you'll be able to immerse yourself in this beautiful country.

The waterways are dotted with picturesque towns, historic castles, and charming villages.

Here are some photos of our time in Belgium this month!

🌷 We were so excited to finally visit Keukenhof Gardens during our river cruise through Holland! 🌷

We have been waiting to visit for the last two years and it certainly was worth it.

With 70 acres of parkland and lakes, it's one of the world's largest flower gardens with nearly 7 million flowering bulbs bursting with color.

Garden and flower lovers need to put this destination on their bucket list.

Here are some photos we snapped during our time at Keukenhof. Can you believe they are even more beautiful in person?

This month during our river cruise we stopped at Zaanse Schans to see original windmills!

Zaanse Schans is a neighborhood in the Dutch town of Zaandam, near Amsterdam.

Historic windmills and distinctive green wooden houses were relocated here to recreate the look of an 18th/19th-century village.

The Zaans Museum has regional costumes, model windmills, and interactive exhibits on chocolate making.

Artisan workshops demonstrate rare handicrafts such as wooden clog carving, barrel making, and pewter casting.

Overall we thought this stop was cute but a bit touristy.

We are excited to share all the details of our travels this month through the Netherlands!

Paris is the city of love, but did you know it's also the city of flowers?

In fact, thousands of flowers are planted in Paris each spring to make the beautifully fragrant city even more enticing.

Roses, tulips and other flowers fill the city parks while blooming trees lace the city streets with blossoms.

Be sure to visit Jardin de Tuileries, which contains an impressive variety of flowers that are planted in accordance to the seasons!

Also plan to catch a glimpse at Arc de Triomphe , the lovely Ile de la Cite, Notre Dame Cathedral and other famous structures that are enhanced by their timeless beauty in spring.

Travel to the City of Light for an unforgettable springtime adventure, with a river cruise that takes you from the historic streets of Paris to its captivating, lavender-scented countryside.

Lovely London ✨

London is a city of passion, drama, and history.

Take a flight on the London Eye for fantastic views over the city, or visit Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of Queen Elizabeth II.

Sail along the River Thames, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

In the evening, see one of the dozens of celebrated West End shows, or enjoy dinner at a traditional London pub.

There are so many possibilities to make your stay unforgettable.

We love adding on a London trip extension after a river cruise.

It’s the perfect destinaton to end your european exploration in before heading back home.

So, sit back, relax, and be part of the London magic on your next vacation!

There are river cruises in a range of destinations, but Holland and Belgium are two of the most popular.

Both countries have a wealth of history, culture and natural beauty to explore, and they’re both very easy to navigate on foot or bicycle.

Enjoy a city tour that introduces you to the charming town's impressive architecture and 17th century canals.

The beautiful countryside, old castles, and quaint villages that you pass along the way provide a perfect backdrop for your trip.

Plus the food is delicious, and the people are friendly, which makes it the ideal vacation for all types of travelers.

For a trip that's relaxing, luxurious, and culturally rich, we highly recommend a river cruise!

Discover one of Europe’s most alluring cities when you go on a River Cruise to Budapest. 🚢

The Danube River divides Hungary’s capital city into the once separate towns of Buda and Pest.

Explore both sides, starting with Pest’s National Opera House and historic Heroes’ Square.

In Buda, walk along Castle Hill to Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church.

Admire the breathtaking view from Fisherman’s Bastion, and explore the history, architecture, and beauty of the Hungarian Parliament Building.

Choose one of the ships excursions designed to allow you to delve deeper into the history, culture, and cuisine of this fascinating city.

Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of self-education, and every trip you take changes you for the better.

Anyone who's been on a long trip knows that there's something about it that makes you feel different.

You might feel more confident, or maybe you just find that you have a new perspective on life.

We love this quote and think it perfectly describes how travel changes you!

Close enough to see the details, far enough away to see them in context. River cruising is an exceptional way to travel.

Unpack once, then relax as you explore various destinations during your journey – with a unique perspective on the people, wildlife, culture, and customs that make each place special.

Learn about local cultures from onboard experts who bring history and geography to life.

Immerse yourself in local life by shopping at colorful markets or meeting the families of traditional craftsmen — the possibilities are endless!

Treat yourself to a trip of a lifetime aboard an award-winning river cruise.

If you've ever considered taking a river cruise, now is the time to do it.

River cruising has exploded in popularity in the last few years, and with good reason — it combines the best of cruising and land tours into one seamless vacation package.

As you sail through charming landscapes and along iconic rivers, you can enjoy the luxurious onboard amenities, as well as the many excursions offered at each destination.

Onboard a river cruise ship, you will find an elegant and comfortable lounge area, a restaurant with delicious meals and drinks, a sun deck with comfy loungers, and much more.

One of the best things about river cruising is that your ship can navigate more than just the open seas.

The smaller vessels and shallower waters mean you’ll be able to access some of the most charming and picturesque towns in the world.

Drift along the Nile, past ancient temples and feluccas; glide through the landscapes that inspired Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir; follow the course of history on a cruise through Europe or along the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
