Emden Canal Cruise

Hello all...my flip flops took us to Emden last Thursday for a boat tour of the canals. .lasted about an hour and a half and we had an entertaining moderator. .Emden is a city in Ostfriesland. .in the northwest part of Germany..I get here at least once a week and my husband 5 days a week as Volkswagen is also the largest employeer in the city..the Passat is produced here..but..back to the city..The city was first developed in the 8th century,  was a central location for the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, was industrialized in the late 1800's and was mostly destroyed by bombs during the Second World War. The City encompasses 112 km2 and in 2012 had a population of almost 50,000. There is quite a bit to see and do here..several museums, a city center that has a market every week, not to mention the numerous festivals that take place throughout the year..when in this part of the world a shame to miss.
