Life on the boat

We got on the boat in Briesach, Germany

Friday at 3pm. Unpacked and met some of our new friends in the lounge for cocktails. Patty has found a German Reisling that she likes. We have a nice room and the lounge and dining room are very comfortable.

Boarding Viking Boat, IDI, for the first time. It is 443feet long, holds 190 passengers, a crew of 50. It was built in 2010
All the comforts of home….. a little bit of a tight squeeze. A nice veranda with two chairs and a table. However the unseasonably cool and wet weather has kept us inside
The top deck has two putting greens, shuffle board, small walking path, and a large herb garden that is used by the chef and his staff.
We pass another Viking River boat on the Rhine River.
We meet the captain and his crew before dinner.
This is the captain leading the dancing and singing after dinner….. who’s driving the boat?
We also have some good live entertainment, it varies from night to night and we have a piano player that players every evening before dinner and after dinner when guest entertainers aren’t on board.
