The Rhine is very busy, with a huge variety of vessels from container carriers to a dragon boat crew out training. Some of the small barges are complete family homes, with a car stowed on the back, deck chairs, pot plants and even some with children's play equipment. I saw a 'fire engine' patrolling the other day - painted in red and with all the gear on it.
This is a bit of a cheeky post - the barge under tow is called 'Melissa' which is my daughter's name - she will be mortified that the Melissa is an ugly old barge rather than a sleek private yacht.
