Cruising on the English Channel was awesome!
Seeing the White Cliffs of Dover (from far away) was fabulous. It was a bit hazy though!
After cruising the English Channel we then entered the Alb River in Germany.
Beautiful scenery on the Alb…
Hamburg was having a Ships Festival when we arrived at port.
All different kinds of cruising vessels go by.
We then took part in the festival and saw some of the city. I did not bring my camera as I left it on the ship.
But… let’s just say.
We enjoyed a few German Beers.
Next stop is Port of Le Havre, France where we rented a car to go to Normandy!
That looks so fun. Totally different from we have here in the states.
I so agree! Sorry we did not make it up to Prescott this past weekend! We came close though!
What a wonderful trip! Great images, Nancy!
Thank You Indah!! It was a fabulous trip!
While you were watching my bird post, I’m here viewing your fabulous cruise trip! Such a beautiful city, love the captures of the architecture! The the ship festival looks so much fun. What a trip, Nancy! š
An awesome trip indeed!
Hmmm… dooo dooo dooo do… kind of like the twilight zone with us looking at each others’ blog at the same time. Too Funny!
Wow, what an amazing cruise trip! Great photos of everything. It’s all so beautiful. Can’t wait to see France! š
Ahhhhhhhh France has numerous photos… may need two blog posts!
And it was an amazing trip. AMAZING!
Wow! What a trip you guys took. You will have to give me details later so I can drop a bug in DH’s ear š
I would do a transatlantic again in a heartbeat!
We gotta tawk! š
Yuuuppp!
I might enjoy this type cruise better than the islands. Sailing in nothing but water for days isn’t my idea of fun. But traveling in the river looks wonderful! The port was a zoo…crazy!
It was crazy…. and fabulous all in one!
I LOVE the photos of the European architecture! So beautiful!
It was! And it gets better. Stay tuned, my friend!
Yay!!
Thanks for the tour – it looks amazing!
And thanks to you for taking the time to comment… how nice of you! I appreciate it very much!
You’re looking mighty fine in that last pic of you serving beer LOL. What a busy and crazy port. I do love European architecture.
HA HA HA HA There is a slight resemblance???!!! HA HA HA HA
Oh that looks like so much fun! We have never done a cruise but you are doing a great selling job! Perhaps best to leave the camera behind when going for some great German beers. š
…my thoughts exactly!!
I am really enjoying this cruise!
…my pleasure oh treasure of a friend!! š
Aww thanks! The photos are also great.
Thank you!!
Photographing form the perspective of the water certainly was advantageous for you. The photos are just stunning, Nancy, and how exciting a journey. I especially enjoyed seeing the others vessels sharing the waterway with you. Thank you for sharing your continuing adventures. š®
I love our WordPress community! The blogosphere is fun and we all like sharing!
Your photos are wonderful. Germany is on our bucket list, and you may have just moved it up a notch. š
YEA! My sister and her husband river cruised down the Danube. They loved it!
Love the pictures….you make it feel like we are there!! Love the perspective from the river….love the German Beer!!!!! What an awesome trip!!
Thank You! It was an awesome trip! So delighted we got to do the cruise!
Wow! You were able to enjoy so much right from your ship. Sounds lovely and the pics are great!
Thank You! A marvelous cruise and more to come! š
Beautiful pics! I love the white cliffs. Looks like an eventful and fun trip! š
It was and there is more to come! Thank You for commenting! How nice of you! š
It sounds like a lot of fun. It looks a very green, leafy place too. I love traveling by ship. It’s always so exciting. š
Spring had sprung in Hamburg when we were there! Green and leafy and perfect for outdoor Biergartens!
That’s great, I liked your post and the city as well. I’ve been there for a week-end but it turned to a week… š amazing city

Hamburg my pearl, thats what we say! Did you eat a Fischbrƶtchen ” a bread roll with fish”?
Hmmmmm no I don’t believe so. Gosh it sounds good though!
Nancy, beautiful photos. I well remember crossing the English Channel and seeing the White Cliffs of Dover. I have been to several places in Germany, but not Hamburg…looks fascinating!
I loved Germany! Beautiful!!! So much to see and taste!
What fun – and what beautiful scenery along the river! Thanks again for linking up to the Take Me Away Party in April!
Shelley
Thank you! Germany is a beautiful country!
Thank you so much for having this fun travel link up party!
Being a native German, I’ve always come from the “land side” to Hamburg, not from the sea: all the more interseting to see your pictures of going up the Elbe.
One thing, though: those pictures at the end, of a girl in a “Dirndl” service beer, a “Tirolerhut”, and a “Brez’n” – that’s Bavarian, not northern German. Sorry to say, but that should not appear in a post about Hamburg. We Germans have our regional pride. š
Best regards from a German in Fredericksburg/Texas,
Pit
So glad you found your way to my Hamburg post.
As for those Bavarian Girls… this little ole Slovak gal from Pennsylvania had no idea! Lol!
I have been to Fredericksburg, Texas severally times. My sweet man and I start our day at the cute little Pie Place.
We have family in Boerne, Texas.
Hi Nancy, I’m happy myself that I stumbled across your blog.
As to Germany/Bavaria in the US: I always find it amazing, that “German” equals “Bavarian” in the US. Even here in Fredericksburg, that was settled by Germans definitely not from Bavaria. I always suspect that it is because after WWII Bavaria was in te American zone, and thus all the GIs that were – and still are here – are stationed in southern Germany. Maybe also because “Lederhosen” are such a distinctive piece of clothing.
So have family in Boerne, and you’ve been to “Fritztown”. By “cute little Pie place” do you mean the Fredericksburg Pie Company? We love their pies. Maybe we can enjoy their pies together some day.
Enjoy your day,
Pit
Thatās the Pie Place! You never know when our paths may cross. I have met Ingrid and another gal here in BlogWorld!
As you say: one may never know. I’ve met a few bloggers in person by now.
