Greimersburg, Germany

We left the apartment in Peniche at 8:30 AM on Tuesday for the Lisbon Airport, turned in the rental car and flew to Cologne, Germany.  Rented a car in Cologne and drove to Greimersburg, Germany.  We are staying with our friends Henk and Corry from the Netherlands.  We met them for the first time 8 years ago at this very apartment.

Went for dinner at a little Gausthaus in the village --dinner prepared by Barbara and Yens whom we met 8 years ago, as well.  Nice evening.  Today, we drove into Cochem and walked around for 2 hours shopping.  Cochem is a beautiful small city right on the Mosel River.  Just love it here!!!

Country of contrasts

We took a walk this afternoon-- it is only a block from the apartment.  Wanted to show you the two sides of a small fort on a narrow point.  Each side so different from the other. Tomorrow we pack and clean.  Monday we move to a new place for a week.  It is called Sesimbra and is located south of Lisbon on the Atlantic.  The picture of the apartment shows a balcony overlooking the ocean.  We shall see!!  (No pun intended) Then the following Tuesday we fly back to the Good 'Ole USA!!!!!

South

Drove South today.  Again we went off road.  We seem to have better luck finding neat things. More coastline, but each spot seems a little different. Ended up in a town called Lourinha where they were having a festival/market.  Walked around for a while  And drove "home"

Itinerary

The last 3 months have been pretty hectic at our house.  We have had tons of company--all of whom we enjoyed immensely.  During that time, Jim became ill with double vision and A-Fib.  He was in the hospital twice.  He still has the double vision and the A-Fib was brought under control with a procedure called a cryoablation.  We both decided it was time for a change of scenery!  So, with the doctors' permission, we planned a two month trip to Europe.  I was on the computer a good 14 hours lining up the places to stay and transportation. We leave this Sunday, April 30, from the Port of Tampa on the NCL's Jade for a repositioning cruise to England. 5/1/17       Key West 5/2/17       Miami 5/3--5/9    6 days at sea 5/9            Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal 5/10          At sea 5/11          At sea 5/12    ...
