Getting to France Viking VE

Waiting on Creative Consconcierge Car service to pick us up and take us to Orlando airport.

Arrival at JFK airport.  This is the worst airport I have been in my life.  So hard to find your way around.  Time to de-stress, so we are going to find some food and drink. Goose Island beer and Reuben! 

Beautiful view of the skyline.

I watched several movies on the 6+-hour flight to France, including The Polar Express movie.

Upon arrival to Basel Switzerland, we were told that the river was flooded and we were getting on a bus to travel 2 hours to France.  We are bummed but there is nothing we can do.  We will miss the tour of Basel and Lucerne :-(

We finally arrived but were sent on the wrong Viking boat.  We all went across 2 boats and were told to turn around and get off this was not our boat. What a mess.

We had to walk about a half mile to reach the Viking Ve.  We are tired and not happy campers.  Booked in and our room is assigned now.

Arrival at the Viking Ve

I love our cabin with a balcony. Very nice.

Our first lunch on the boat.

Tonight we are going to the lounge for cocktails. I had a tasty Irish coffee drink and listened to the piano. 

The Expresso martini was super delicious also.  I think I'm finally relaxed and feel like eating dinner.

Met some people from CA who I can't remember their names. We sat with them at dinner. There is no assigned seating. I'm sure we are going to meet many new people and make many new friends.

It's time to end this long day of travel.  I watched out our cabin window as we passed another Viking boat.  Looks like we are moving the boat tonight from France to Germany.  

We are heading to Freiburg tonight while we sleep. In the morning we have a guided tour to the Yuletide Market and listen to an organ concert in a museum.
