Today I sat on the veranda and watched traffic on the Kiel Canal. We entered the canal at Kiel, Germany and we exited it 91 kilometers later on the Elbe River, leading to the North Sea. It was like nothing else on the cruise. A narrow canal way with German countryside on both sides of our ship—very pretty. The Kiel Canal is a shortcut saving a lot of time (and fuel) by not sailing up and around the coast of Denmark. We will be in Amsterdam tomorrow in time to desembark and head for home. We’ve had a very nice 15 day cruise to 3 places we have never been before. I’ll have to get the exact country count when we get home, but it’s well over 100.
