Nothing formal just nice casual clothes

I really recommend this cruise - it is short and the ship is small - it's a great way to try a cruise and see if you like it

Thank you, I will

This has always been a favorite ever since I saw the Student Prince as a kid. Appreciate the kind words

@@travelsmartseniors Ah .. the Student Prince! Funny enough, this operetta is nearly unknown in Germany.

Well, it is mostly gone now after two days of high winds (one of the trees even fell down). Good to hear from you

Thanks, will do!

Many many thanks

@@christopherx7428 you’re 100% correct! Feel free to share your list of the places you have already! Thanks for the kind words

Also, based on various recommendations I have picked up but don't know how good they are: Görlitz, Pirna, Meißen, Bautzen, Regensburg, Wismar, Füssen, Heppenheim, Idstein, Hildesheim, Fürth, Meissen, Bacharach, Münster, Eisenach, Göttingen, Bonn, Aachen, Nürnberg, Ulm, Tübingen, Freiburg im Breisgau, Alpirsbach, Haigerloch, Naumburg, Stade, Blaubeuren, Wismar, Fritzlar, Schwerin, Tauberbischofsheim and, of course, Miltenberg.

@@christopherx7428 Wow - great list!! We are heading to Berlin next spring to take a cruise from Berlin on the Havel, Oder and then the Baltic Sea, finishing in Copenhagen. It includes Stralsund, Rostock, and Greifswald, so we will see. I haven't done much in northern Germany. Of the places you plan to visit - we have been to these and really recommend them: Regensburg and Nürnberg are easy day trips from München. Ulm, Tübingen, Freiburg im Breisgau (Black Forest) and Füssen (near Hohenschwangau). Appreciate the list!

@@travelsmartseniors I hike through Germany, a little now and a little then - usually around a week each time. I go home for a spell and then return to continue. I covered once going north to south and started a new one south to north along another route. Going on foot you get to see the back alleys and go through so many places that no one has ever heard of. E.g. the little village of Archshofen on the Tauber, which greeted me with the sign "Founded in 807" (not much left from those days though) or Osterwieck, where a local told me theirs was the first church ever to be _built_ as a protestant one. Etc, etc. So much to discover.

Thanks so very much! It indeed is a wonderful cruise!

Appreciate it!!! Door County, Wisconsin is the perfect place to see the fall colors. It is the New England of the Midwest. Thanks again as always!

Thank so much - very glad you enjoyed it!

We are so glad you enjoyed it! I just read that 12 million liters of beer were consumed - WOW!

Thanks! 😃 The Opera was wonderful!

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks much - glad you enjoyed

Thanks - I am sure you will enjoy!

Thanks! When we went, we just did a day trip from České Budějovice. I think it would be better to stay in Krumlov. There seem to be some hiking trails around as well. Cheers

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it!

My goodness!! I didn't realize that - thanks for the correction!

Correct Ochsenbraterei tent, ochsen is oxen.👍🏽

I spent my second night this past Oktoberfest in the Ochsenbraterai along with my wife and her girlfriend and we cannot recommend it enough! We happened there during the busy Deutschen Einheit holiday and this was both a bad and happy happenstance - we had a tough time at first finding a big tent where we could find a place (struck out at 4 other places), but one of the waitresses at the ochsenbraterai saw my wife craning her neck, asked her how many she had with her, told her “follow me!” And bulldozed her way through and found us a spot right in the middle of the floor! She was great and we were probably there for 7 hours having a great time! Spaten is not usually my go-to German big beer, but we went through buckets that night. People were awesome, beer was great, the tent was beautiful, and the band and show they put on was amazing!

Thanks so much frends! Try to go off-season a bit, it was really crowded even in mid September. Thanks to all our friends and subscribers that brought us to the milestone. I never imagined we would get there!

@@travelsmartseniors We were there end of march and it was still really cold! There are always downsides ☹

Thanks for the kinds words - hope you enjoy the trip as much as we did!

Wonderful!! If you get there a day or so early, it is an easy day trip by train to Delft, where the blue china originated. I do have an older video of Delft where we visit the Delft factory. th-cam.com/video/TA6LWH299gI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kvW2ohJWfUrgCAwE

Yet another reason for visiting Amsterdam! 😀

There is no obligation to go on the tours. We frequently went out on our own

@@travelsmartseniors Thank you for responding!

You are too kind!!!

Appreciate the comments - I have a mini-4 pro which is under 249g and makes it easier to fly in Europe- I had to register it with the first country I flew in and had to attach a label to the drone with the registration number - I think you will find more info here: www.easa.europa.eu/en/light/topics/travelling-drones

@@travelsmartseniors Wonderful - thanks!!

Thanks so much - we want to go back as there is much more to see.

Really appreciate it!

Whoops - my mistake and I have been making it for a long time!!! I appreciate the correction!

That's wonderful! Congratulations - I am sure you will enjoy it! Glad the videos have helped

I do hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

@@stellakowalski1 Thanks so much to you too!!

Thanks for the note - appreciate the kind words. I do all of my editing on Apple computers using Final Cut Pro. It has plugins that can create animated paths over a static map. Cheers!

Again, thanks for the kind words! And I do remember the Gabor sisters quite well. More of Budapest to come!
