Saturday Nov 5 2011-Cochem a/k/a locks and lox

The weather was great again today, we keep waiting for it to get colder but so far it's been amazing.  It's about 13 and sunny today.  This morning we were into Cochem for a tour and some shopping.  I found an amazing little yarn shop where I picked up some funky aqua marine fun yarn and some mohair/wool/acrylic mix, 450 m for only 13 euros.   Mum and Peter, one of the fellows we've met on the trip, stayed in town a little longer and surprise, surprise-they found the strudel and coffee shop. 

Breakfasts on board are a great way to start the day.  They offer a great buffet with eggs, bacon, mushrooms, french toast, pancakes, oatmeal, bircher muesli, lox (fantastic!), yogurts of every sort, cheese trays that would make us cry at home for the cholesterol and so much more.  The service is great which really enhances the whole experience.  There are a number of people on board who seem to be determined to complain but for the most part, people are pleasant.  This afternoon was more time on top visiting and photographing castles and countryside.  I'm getting a lot of inspiration for a new felting project.  We just finished this afternoon's tea because you know, you must have to eat even more goodies!  All in all, the trip has been relaxing and wonderful.
