10-17: Today the rain arrived. We decided to skip our scheduled wine tasting tour and stay onboard. We passed through at least one lock today. We played cards, caught up on our laptops, and generally relaxed. Some active cruisers still went on the scheduled bike rides! At 5:30p they had a little welcome back party for those who have cruised on Ama before. They served bubbles with a sprinkle of gold dust in the glasses. We’ve talked to a lot of people, but we have not hit it off with anyone. In the evening we had an accordionist again! I was actually wondering if it would be the same guy that we saw on Riviera? It was not, but he was good too.
10-18: Today the rain continues. Again, we stayed on board along with a lot of other people. We did at least 3 locks today. It is surprising how many are on these rivers! We spent most of the rainy day in the lounge playing cards, as did a good portion of the people on board. There was an afternoon scarf presentation from a person who still makes scarves by hand. They were all silk scarves, rather colorful, and quite expensive. I don’t usually spend €200 on a scarf and today was no different. Stuart did go outside on deck to take a few photos. It is 58˚ and not welcoming at all. There was a trivia game show in the evening, we won the prize for the LEAST correct answers!
10-19: And MORE rain! More people are staying onboard in the lounge to enjoy hot drinks and playing games or reading, etc. I even saw a couple ladies doing needle point. We had a singer and guitarist tonight with 50’s 60’s and 70’s music. They were very good!
