I should add that we are headed for a Christmas Market river cruise in early December. I think riding a tube down the Rhine is not option <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

We are spending a few days in Basel before the trip and a few days in my favorite city Amsterdam at the completion of the trip.
