Through the locks in the Kiel Canal, June 27,2010

Here is the view as we were coming into the lock. Nothing as big as the Panama Canal but still neat to watch.
This was just as we were entering the lock. Looked like some sort of hotel or recreational area with lots and lots of people watching us and waving to us. A number of small pleasure boats were docked there, too.

Here we are actually in the lock and you can see the 3 pilots leaving us after successfully guiding down the canal.


And we are now leaving the lock and going past the light house on our way out into the North Sea. We were really moving along at a good speed by 3:30 p.m. after traveling very slowly all day. We had our Iowa Alumni group photo taken and then ate dinner with the alumni group. Bob was still miserable with his back so we read after dinner and got some extra rest.
