It continues to amaze us how holidaymakers return to the River Shannon with such consistency.Last night Ingrid Tode told us that they first came on a cruiser holiday in 1974 and have returned for 15 holidays since.Other years them have tried South America, the States and a variety of European and Asian countries but the Shannon keeps calling. This year they are spending two weeks using Silverline Cruisers in Banagher and then they are planning to visit Donegal for one week driving a motor home.Their business card features an attractive red and white lighthouse on the River Elbe which they purchased some years ago and can be seen at www.leuchtturm-elbe.de
