On Tuesday, we boarded the Viking River Boat Rolf and got settled into our state rooms. Our quarters were compact to say the least, but very efficiently laid out with a veranda balcony just roomy enough for 2 chairs and a small table. Nice spot to sit out and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and also providing access to the breeze off the river. As we recalled from our previous Viking trip, the staff is welcoming and helpful and the procedures are well thought out and efficient.
On the river, the fuel comes to the boat, rather than the other way around
I was able to watch the process from our balcony as they pulled up right beside us.
The “light lunch” provided for new passengers turned out to be a buffet feast with everything from salads and cold cuts tor ribs, corn, and multiple desert options.
We decided to go for a stroll on the dock to a point they told us was the junction between Switzerland, Germany, and France (though technically I think that point is located in the River). This monument marks the spot
