Hi from Bamberg Germany

Hi to all family and friends

Today I am writing this email somewhere on the Main Danube Canal after we left Bamberg at lunchtime.  We were up early and  started a tour of Bamberg at 8.30!!!  It is a lovely UNESCO World Heritage town.  Tonight we have cocktail drinks at 7pm, dinner, followed by a Roaring Twenties Night.
I am sending some more photos. Three of them are of Bamberg today and the other is of a the lock we went through yesterday.  Note all the chairs, tables and umbrellas are lying flat on the deck and the wheelhouse has been lowered. We have been under many low bridges. There are I think 68 locks we have to go through.  Originally we went up in the locks and now we are in the main Danube we are going down in the locks till I suppose we reach sea level in Amsterdam.  All very impressive and a wonderful to experience.
We met some lovely people while we were in Prague and 8 of us have stayed noisy friends.  What fun.  
I don't know when we can send this email as the internet goes in and out on the river and as we are moving it is a problem also.

Cheers to everyone

Jill and Trevor
