Happily posting on the aft lounge of the Amacello. Dinner last night was good, mushrooms in a puff pastry, white asparagas soup, sliced tenderlion with a couple of shrimp followed by a chocolate pudding/cake thing. Very generous with the wine, nice big glasses that they fill as often as you wish and also right before you leave the table. The troops are happy.

We all piled into the AFT lounge last night after dinner, and stayed up way too late and I drank too much wine (more than my normal 2 glass maximum). Lots of laughing and fun I think we are the type of group that likes to be on a BOAT or SHIP of any kind. Makes us all happy.

So we could not drag ourselves out of bed this morning. Shame on us, we missed the tour of Trier that everyone really seemed to enjoy.

This afternoon we were at Brenkastle (may have that spelt incorrectly) which was picture postcard perfect. It would be beautiful at anytime of the year with the half timbered leaning houses but the Christmas decorations made it extra special.

Tonight we have the welcome aboard dinner looking forward to that.

Ken may "try" to post pictures but this is not easy the internet is slow.
