Sights and stops along the way

We had to do a ship transfer after 2 days because a bridge in Dresden collapsed and ships couldn’t get thru the mess. Bridge won’t be totally removed until next summer at low water! Viking made the most of it by getting us off the ship quickly and we made an unplanned stop at a local vineyard and winery.

Our program director, Lutz, helps pour the wine. He did a great job, never seemed flustered with all the unanticipated events that go along with a ship transfer
The Proschwitz vineyard owner welcomes us. What a view !!
Nice entertainment on the ship. The Allegra Ensemble performed for us one evening.
Look close, under a still standing bridge, and you’ll see the bridge that collapsed into the river. Very fortunate that this happened at 3 in the morning and no one was on the bridge.
An interesting trip to a relatively new VW assembly plant in Dresden for 3 of their all electric cars. This plant use lots of robots and computer programming to complete the assembly with very few human workers!
Inside the VW plant…… these aren’t even close to my mom’s 1964 VW bug.
