"Ahead of you lies an exciting
journey
on one of Europe's most important and historic waterways--
the venerable Rhine River. Rising in Switzerland,
it flows along the border of France,
through the historic heart of Germany and
into Holland where it empties in the North sea.
It is such a might river that its major tributaries--
the Moselle, Saar, Main, and Neckar--
are themselves important waterways
providing access to even more of Europe's treasures." (VRC)

BowCam (watching passage through lock was educational the first time)
and we especially enjoyed the personality and efforts of our evening waiter
whose quick and dry wit skewered us more than once, to our delight.
