Part 6 of the series on Retracing Their Footsteps
Once in Amsterdam, my Grandparents [Charles and Theresa Sherlock] boarded a steamship for a river tour down the Rhine River. They weren't on a river cruise like the ones offered by Viking and others these days. Theirs was more of a "hop on, hop off" boat ride.
While
my Grandparents began their trip down the Rhine River in Amsterdam, that’s
where we ended our river cruise.
In 2015,
my brother, his wife, my husband and I took a Viking Cruise, beginning in Basel, Switzerland
and ending in Amsterdam. We made stops in Breisach, Germany [for the Black
Forest]; Colmar, France; Strasbourg, France;Heidelberg, Germany; Rudesheim,
Germany; Koblenz, Germany; Cologne, Germany; Kinderdijk, Netherlands and
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Charlie and Theresa stopped for lunch in
the town of Elten, Germany, which was a part of the
Netherlands from 1949 -1963. Our stop
before Amsterdam on our 2015 Rhine River cruise was at Kinderdijk, which is 1
hour and 15 minutes north and west of Elten.
