Ein Abend der Funken sprühte!

"Rhein in Flammen" vom Schiff aus zu geniessen, ist ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis! Das Angebot liess keine Wünsche offen, die Organisation war - bis hin zur Vermittlung nicht benötigter Karten - schlicht perfekt und kundenorientiert. Herzlichen Dank allen Beteiligten von Rüdesheim Tourismus! Die Crew der 'La Paloma', insbesondere das Küchen- und Serviceteam, hat den Kraftakt ausgezeichnet gemeistert, die grosse Gästeschar köstlich und speditiv zu bewirten. Im Hintergrund spielte ein Alleinunterhalter Hits aus unserer Zeit, d.h. als wir jünger waren. Eine Bravourleistung, denn er war unermüdlich und sein sehr stimmiges Repertoire schier unerschöpflich. Dazu leckeren Wein und Cocktails, Herz, was begehrst Du mehr! Ach ja, die Feuerwerke...
Alles in allem ein Abend, der nicht nur wegen der Feuerwerke Funken sprühte, sondern weil alle involvierten Teams eine Top Leistung erbrachten! Herzlichen Dank und gerne wieder!
