Rollin' on the Rhone

The second part of my recent trip

was spending a week on a

 small luxurious ship with only 80 fellow passengers,

gently cruising on the Rhone in southern France, and 

then enjoying extraordinary experiences at different ports.

It had been on my bucket list for a long time, but truthfully,

I was hesitant to even consider this trip because

I had been nervous about feeling seasick,

but I have to say,

it was smooth sailing all the way.

Our itinerary was a wonderful mixture 

of scenery: 

the bridge at Avignon

history:

the Arles Roman amphitheater

 picturesque villages:

Viviers, France

wonderful wine tastings:

 and  gastronomical experiences: 

 tastings at a truffle farm

There was never a moment to get bored. 

This trip, one of Tauck's River Cruises,

gave us cultural experiences

ensuring memories for a life time. 

Happy Travels,

Rollin',rollin' rollin' down the river.
