The Nina and Pinta visit Winona,MN

One of our cruise stops, Winona,MN,  had a couple of special guests stop by and park at their levee. Two large ships representing the Columbus Discovery Days, The Nina and Pinta. They were parked there for about a week(July23-Aug.1) letting the general public come and see them up close. If you came by boat there is a large enough levee to park any size boat  and boat docks to accommodate smaller boats. There was a fee to be able to climb on board these ships: adults-$7.00, seniors-$6.00, children-$5.00 and children under 4 were free. We didn't climb on board these ships but they were very beautiful to look at and it was great to see a view from  history. We stopped  and enjoyed an ice cream cone from the Cane Pole Cafe.
