Traveling down the Keil Canal

Day 2 on our Baltic cruise found us navigating down the Keil Canal in Germany, making our way over the Baltic Sea. When I thought of traveling down a canal route, I didn’t picture this kind of beauty. We enjoyed mile after mile of tree-lined shores populated by all kinds of locals riding by on bikes, stopping in cars, or on house balconies waving at the people on the passing ship. It was a treat to see God’s creation from the decks of the ship as we sailed along. The weather is just perfect today (around 20), and the combination of sunshine and natural beauty (and some good rest in the night) has made this day a real treat. Even though it’s show night, we have time to enjoy all of this since we only have one show time, and it’s a late show at 9:45 pm. After dinner outside in the dining room, we got ready for the show and Bob once again showed how he can still put on a great show even in a theater that has about 7.5 foot ceilings! He didn’t feel as good about it as he has other shows, but I thought he did great. The crowd on the Regatta is considerably older than Royal Caribbean, but comparable to Holland America, so he knows how to work, shall we say the “older crowd”, and I think he won them over. He was a bit nervous about doing his show because these cruisers have already seen 2 juggling shows on their trip!! But, all’s well that ends well, and I think it ended well. Tomorrow brings us another adventure as we enter Copenhagen, Denmark ...we’ll let you know what we think if you’ll stay with us.

Yes, we see that hand!
The locals welcome us...and enjoy a beer. Of course, we’re in Germany!
