Well how about a canal. We have succumbed to temptation and decided to go on a cruise to get away from the chilly winter we are experiencing. The only warm place is bed at present.
Anyway at the end of August we are going on a 14 day European cruise from Copenhagen to Kiel via the canal that links the Baltic and North Sea , then along the coast to Amsterdam, 3 French ports, Viga in Spain, then Gibralter, Mallorca and finally Barcelona. Will follow this with a week in Germany. We are very excited about it. It is a luxury cruise on the Azamara complete with butlker service and other frivolities. The price is about half of the normal price - the recession and swine flu are probably combining to put some people off travelling.
