Day 0ne

Well this was technically day 3 I think, but it was I r first day in Germany so I will call it Day 1.  As you may know not much has gone right on this trip and we are still without luggage.  We were told the boat didn’t leave Frankfort until the next night so we decided to go to Heidelberg one day before we went with the group and the we would spend the day the group went in Frankfort looking for our luggage.  Q

We went to the train station and bought tickets for the 10:20 train knowing we only had a few minutes to make the train.  Well we ran to the platform to find the train gone.  So we had to take one that required us to change trains 3 times.  Well we got on the first one ok, but the 2nd one was delayed so we know missed the 3rd train.  We did eventually make it commenting that absolutely nothing has gone right this trip!  We walked from the train station into the city center and unfortunately didn’t have much time as we did not want to miss the train back to Frankfort. Once in Frankfort we took a walk back to the hotel where we left our carry on bags and picked up a few items on the way (some clean clothing). We got to the hotel and amazingly we got one of our checked bags (mine) and headed off to get on our boat.  

The boat was nice and we got settled in with what luggage we had and started to try and find Richards.  The status online is “lost”…  so we ar not expecting to see it anytime soon.  We went the briefing and then had dinner on the terrace which was nice as we didn’t really have all that of our clothing we did t want to go to the main dining room for a 5 course meal.  

After dinner we had a few drinks and headed out to the Christmas markets for a few drink and made our way back to the boat when they started closing up the market stallls.
