The suggested format is that this is a discussion thread about the places along the route, links allowed in moderation, any food mentioned is vegan. Sort of like a treasure hunt for information, yet no teams, people sharing what they find.

StarDreamer was last seen on MN over the bank holiday saying he had been suspended I believe, and hotly denying he had created the swiftly removed ‘Egwin’.

Is SD back?

Has this cruise now become cosmetic surgery tourism? There may be a number of interested Grans, depending on procedures on offer, and prices …

Der Goldene Delfin has now journeyed some way along the canal that links the Main to the Danube and is moored near Nuremberg, to where we have travelled overland and now enjoy an evening walk.

Now those are interesting. What are they about?

Readers might like to delay clicking the link below until at least two and a half minutes into the walk so as to first enjoy observing without knowing the answer.

Travelling from wine to beer along the Main!
Bamberg is known for its special beer and many local breweries and beer gardens. The most famous of Bamberg's breweries is the historic smoked beer brewery, Schlenkerla. This 6th-generation family brewery has been quenching thirst since 1405 and still taps beer the old-world way – from wooden barrels.

After a pleasant day in Haßfurt, tomorrow morning Der Goldene Delfin is due to travel from Haßfurt to Bamberg.

The journey is about 25 miles.

Here is a link that shows a map. The illustrations are for train journeys and for road journeys, not river journeys.

However, the river Main is shown on the map.
