This Friday I decided to explore the new (and almost finished) National Museum of Qatar. The building is supposed to look like a desert rose.
Last day in New Orleans. Walked down Bourbon Street to Jean Lafite’s blacksmith shop (now a bar). Enjoyed a leisurely stroll down to the Mississippi River to wait for boarding the steam powered paddlewheel. At 1045 they played the steam powered calliope, which was interesting, but not spectacular. I tried to stay out of the…
This morning I visited a few museums surrounding Jackson Square. The first and most interesting of the three museums was the Cabildo. The Cabildo had a variety of different exhibitions on the history of the building, the family who owned it and Jean LaFitte, who was essentially a pirate who assisted the Andrew Jackson during…
This morning I took the historical Charles Street streetcar to the National World War II museum. It was quite larger than I expected and the museum was very good. It didn’t look like a library, they did a lot of work to make the rooms look realistic. I apparently only took photos inside the hangar….
The drive from Houston to New Orleans was mostly uneventful. I first stopped for lunch at Prejean’s in Lafayette. I couldn’t wait to get some real gumbo for the first time in years. Once I arrived in New Orleans I found driving near my hotel near impossible. Next time I’ll stay next to the French…
Time lapse videos created while on a classic European river cruise from Budapest, Hungary to Amsterdam, Netherlands in April 2019. The ship sailed on the Danube River, Main-Danube Canal, Main River, and Rhine River.
Well today started out like Charlie Brown kicking a football. I took a picture of the I amsterdam statue since no one was there. I took the train and got to the airport. I checked in – was 3 hours before my flight. Now that I look at the boarding pass it was even printed…
This morning I finished packing. We left the room at 8:30 AM and had breakfast. After breakfast I checked out the damage to the ship. I then dragged my luggage to the Centraal train station then on the ferry to my hotel. Of course the front door to the hotel was broken, so I had…
This morning we took a short bus tour and made a photo stop at a windmill. The bus tour took us around quite a bit of the city. After the bus tour we took an hour long canal boat tour. We decided not to go back to the ship, but go to Keukenhof Gardens from…
This morning we arrived in Koln in Germany, our last stop before arriving in Amsterdam. Our waking your started at 09:00. We walked around the area near the river and ended at the cathedral. I went into the cathedral, for some reason I think it was closed last time I visited. It’s very large and…
We were delayed a couple of hours this morning because of a malfunctioning lock. They did a good job getting our schedule re-arranged. This morning we sailed through the Rhine Gorge, a very scenic part of the Rhine River. It should be on everyone’s bucket list. After we arrived in Koblenz we had a nice…
This morning after breakfast I was setting up my GoPro on the back of the ship and the door was quite difficult to open on the deck. Only after setting it up did I notice the other passengers looking at damage on the ship. Apparently in the early morning the ship hit a bridge. Mostly…
Last night the ship was held up for quite a while at a lock that malfunctioned (lock wouldn’t open). As soon as we arrived in Wurzburg (at about our scheduled time) we left the ship on buses that took us to the Wurzburg Residence. The ship continued on through the Wurzburg lock and docked in…
