So, as you might have gathered by now, the weather has been very wet and cold and windy. We found out today that so much rain has been falling in Switzerland and the level of the Rhine has risen so much, that our boat cannot fit under the bridge that lies between us and our final destination for the cruise - Basel, Switzerland.
We had train tickets from Basel to Freiburg im Breisgau to pick up our rental car and continue on our way. No way to change the tickets, so Uniworld arranged for us to have a private taxi (at their expense) to take us to Freiburg from our last stop which is now Breisach, Germany. Everyone from the ship was given a taxi or shuttle bus to get them where they needed to go.
We've actually been told by a number of people that this is the coldest Spring in 50 years in this part of Europe. Not much comfort to us as we're freezing most of the time.
