Kiel Canal
"We are friends"

The Kiel Canal connects the North Sea to the Baltic
and crosses areas formerly of East Germany.  Thousands
of Germans, young and old lined the 8-hour route, waving
American and Norwegian flags.  They remember and
appreciate!  We will not forget the young men in a car
paralleling our route, and waving a huge American Flag.
The excellent German band played us into the first lock,
then came on board for the trip.  It was exciting to hear
the music reflecting from shore.
The Norwegian Dream has a folding funnel and mast system
making it the largest liner to transit the canal.
The trip took us deep across Germany, ready for tours
to Berlin and to Moscow.  We elected to take the
Berlin tour.
