Day 4 - River Cruise







This morning we board a train in Paris and head towards the Mosel River. The TGV train is smooth, comfortable and very fast. We stop in a small town of Metz for lunch then we boarded the bus to continue our journey towards the river. Our first tour of the day is in the town of Luxembourg. This is a small city but a very powerful one in Europe. It is a banking city with over 150 banks, at one time there were over 200. The city is charming and once again the weather is in the mid 20's. Perfect for touring. Our next stop is the American War Memorial for World War Two. The rows and rows of white crosses brings tears to our eyes. There are over 5000 Americans buried here along with General Patton. There are many cemeteries like this throughout Europe. We board the bus and continue our drive to meet the Amadagio River ship. This evening we are greeted with a warm welcome and delicious dinner. It's apparent that the food is going to be absolutely delectable throughout the week and the service wonderful.
