Arrival on Amadeus Symphony


We arrived about 10:30 am in Trier, and were allowed to place out bags onboard, however we were not alloud to stay onboard the ship, they were still cleaning it. Well with less then 2 hours sleep & a bad 7 hours flight, I was not in great shape (so you won't see any pictures of me)...but we headed into town, and found a nice little place to sit and have some lunch, a burger and fries. Then i wandered back down tot he waterfront, and took about an hour nap on a bench, indirect sunlgiht right by the boat, I am very lunch i did not fry like a lobster. After an hour laying in the sun i decided to move up the hill from the docks to the shade, finally i was able to find a bench in the shade that was empty where i slept for about 2 hours or so. Most of my friends have since told me i was crazy to sleep on a park bench in a foreign country on a sunday afternoon, but i was so tired i did not really care, and honestly, i think they would have done the same. So finally about 2:30 or so i wandered back down tot he boat to the lobby and asked what time it was, and how long it would be until we could get into our room, it was obvious i was very tired and not feeling well. the captain sent the receptionist to see if our room was ready and since it was he allowed me into my room, where i promptly passed out face down fully dressed on the first bed i saw, until i was called for dinner...

this shot is one of the several i took of the ship on our arrival in Trier, it was not huge, but it was too big to get it all in one shot from where i was standing.
