We left Amsterdam and headed down the Rhine on the SS Antoinette, a Uniworld riverboat. Our stateroom is very nice and has a large window that covers one entire wall, the top of the the window glides up and down to allow for fresh air and leaning out to enjoy the scenery. This is our second cruise with Uniworld, and their boats seem much nicer than the others we see.

Our first day, we stop at Cologne. They have a huge Gothic cathedral there, though I actually prefer the Baroque style. While in Cologne, we went in search of the Gestapo Museum they have there and found it about an hour before they closed. It was not really what we expected, the building was empty except for displays of some of the letters and poems the prisoners had written on the walls. I think we expected to see it furnished with desks and maybe displays of Gestapo uniforms. We decided that perhaps they didn't want to draw attention to anything other than the prisoners and their thoughts, but we're not sure.
