Back home after a slightly delayed journey on an overly hot and very full plane, sat next to a 2 year old who hated every minute of it.
. So @shelley262 yes I'm expecting repercussions.!
I'm already getting some as my ears really "popped" hard and painfully and I haven't been able to hear out of left one since. Streaming from nose so something has been triggered or released.
lots of fellow passengers were coughing, and everyone at home I've talked to had some respiratory thing or other.
Sorry to hear about your son @shelley262. I think hes similar to my nephew and they don't cope with illness or pain well do they?
However, apart from the odd illness, the river cruise was very good. We've seen a variety of places across 4 countries, 7 Christmas markets (but the stalls are similar, its just the location that changes so 3 or 4 would have been plenty. ) we also did history, cathedrals and local culture.
Didn't get much local food as the cruise supplied 3 filling meals a day. They tried to do "local " nights but with a majority American clientele they played it safe.
@sueh21 we did Strasbourg too, but it was so crowded and I got a migraine so we left promptly saying we'll go back independently sometime.
Overall the cruise gave us a good introduction to a part of the world we hadn't been to before. It was 5* in lots of areas so I feel pampered. We'd do another somewhere else, we liked the social aspect, very easy to get talking to fellow travellers. However we hadn't expected every market to be so overwhelmingly packed. Seems to the places to go with no limit on numbers. Apparently earlier in the week or earlier in the day are easier but Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are jam packed and much more about drinking and eating than selling items.
We bought a couple of ornaments, a fridge magnet and various biscuits and chocolate...that was it. Oh and an extra hat and scarf as it was biting cold the first few days.
Dress was casual, lots of people didn't change in the evening and it wasn't a problem. Good warm boots are a necessity, cobbles everywhere.
It has got us more into a Christmassy mood.
My libre fell off so dreading next bg results, and stepping on the scales!!
