Friday 8 July 2022 - Speyer

 

Cool and sunny with a light breeze this morning. Warming to a comfortable temperature by afternoon.

We all took the walking tour of the town and its 1000-year-old cathedral in the morning. 

 The ship left right after we did, and we took a bus to catch up with it in Worms. We spent the rest of the afternoon sailing to Rüdesheim. We all walked into town and did a quick tour of the main restaurant and gift store district. Carla and Tyler stayed in town for schnitzel and beer while Celeste and I returned to the ship. Normally it is hard to beat the food on the ship, but today the schnitzel was the better choice. I was so tired that I was asleep by 8:30 and slept well through the night.

I have had a cold for the last few days. I first noticed a scratchy throat on our first day on the boat. Then it became a sore throat and dry cough, but it is loosening up now. Celeste is getting the same thing, but she is a day behind me.
