We spent 4 days here in a very smart
marina with all facilities. We needed to do a lot of cleaning after
parking near the coal barge last week. The town really doesn't have a
lot but many tourists come on motor bikes, cross via ferry to the
other side of the river and check out the cute, quirky, rustic &
refurbished furniture & knick knacks. We had a good meal with
other boaters at the Ruebel Hotel. It was built in 1879 & the
owner had a solid oak bar shipped from Bavaria in 1904A fire in 1912
nearly destroyed it except for the efforts of the locals who ripped
most of it out to save it from burning.
We've had docktails on 2 nights –
when we arrived & met the other loopers already here about 10
couples, & when they all left we welcomed some of the loopers we
had met before – about 4 of them. I have had some sort of stomach
bug for the last 3 & just can't seem to get rid of it.
Tomorrow we carry on down the river
