Leaving Daintree

Hello.....yes catching up with this Netflix show most evenings

We left Daintree Village to go to next place and called in at another croc cruise and snapped this 😉😉

Selfie on another boat and yesterday was cool and raining 😂😂

A few on board keen to see something through the rain

We saw this little Salt water croc and Paul used my camera

Cute at a distance

January there were floods and reached up metres

We found this tree snake

Paul got a pic including its head

The ferry we went on the other day leaves from over there

After the floods the guide said a lot of sand was washed away and river is the lowest he has seen in 34yrs......he also said a farmer had 150+ cattle washed away.....

The ferry on the other side loaded with cars

We had fun and then headed off in the rain lol

Cool enough for me to do a bit of crochet in the car

We arrived in Atherton and checked a few van parks.....Decided on a RV friendly spot out of town near another place called Tolga $5 donation a night. War memorial site nearby

We then checked out Lake Tinaroo

And Tinaroo Falls Dam

Water was spraying out

Very noisy lol

Back at the park with many others 

Us......

Woody was feeling chilly so wore his beanie

And this morning got a pic of a Yacht that stayed the night.....fun place to sleep.

Well will have a rest from posting maybe.....thanks again for visiting xoxo

Bonn and Cologne and Amsterdam and Gent

On the river sailing to Andernach  where we were then bused on...

to this restaurant for lunch......it is called Rolandseck

and although the company we had were fun....the service was atrocious, lack of staff and lack of knowing to serve people in order and running out of food...... 

we sat with this pair, Tom 92 and Margaret 87 who had been married for roughly 70 years and travel all the time.....they have seen all the states of america even!! and Aussies....OI OI OI lol

my lunch which was okay but.......

interesting decor in the ladies toilet....

ditto

and again....someone had a strange taste 

Yes gold framed mirrors......we then took our own walking tour around Bonn and took no photo's unless there are some on my camera.....the ship cruised into Cologne to meet us

and look the weather still warm warm lol 

oh look a monkey greeted us 

we gave him a tip when we left our cruise

He always made sure our bed looked neat ☺

and today we chose a visit to Zaanse Schans a village that exemplifies traditional Dutch history....

selfie windmill shot

inside a windwmill

amazing wooden working windmill

grinding seeds 

 

another stone grinding wheel

so tall and Paul went up the top via a steep ladder......I did not ☺

cloves waiting to be  crushed 

we also saw lots of clogs 

and sorry about twisted pic.....we watched one be made.

There were so many colours

we finished our time in Amsterdam and had a city walk and saw the infamous red light district and many other sights.....we said goodbye to many who were going on to other tripping around 

Today we were travelling to PARIS.....by bus with a stop at a lovely place called GENT 

Our fellow travellers ☺

we had a mini canal lunch cruise in this lovely little town 

Enjoying to cruise ☺☺

plenty of lush growth along the sides 

looking towards front of boat 

Belgium's fourth-largest - and most beautiful - city of Ghent is home to a quarter of a million inhabitants and is thriving thanks to the flower export trade. The town center is a pedestrian zone, which acts like a museum of early Flemish architecture and a testament to the power of the city in the Middle Ages. The impressive Gothic monuments, such as St Bavo's Cathedral and the Castle of the Counts, inspire awe.

It is spelt Gent or Ghent

how neat is this castle 

amazing gothic buildings 

we then were back on the bus to PARIS

Still on the bus as we went around "The Arc de Triomphe" and can I say, it is one crazy crazy roundabout......more on that in another post

In our next accomodation for a few nights here 

It had an interesting fountain 

and on one of our nights we a meal out with these new friends.....hello if any of you see this......

so the end of the river cruise with more travel ahead
