back on board

 Next stop Vienna




 What a glorious city!
We really didn't have enough time there to do it justice that is the problem with a guided holiday.



 Of course there was time for a slice of Sacher Torte!






and that evening our waiters were dressed as Mozart!
 Then after a delicious evening meal a Viennese Concert at the Sofiensaal Concert Hall



The next day was a very wet and windy day....the only day we had bad weather for the whole holiday.
We arrived at Bratislava, capital city of Slovakia. A really interesting place a mixture of beautiful medieval buildings standing side by side with buildings of concrete blocks built during the Communist era.

View from the castle walls on a good day you can see Austria and Hungary
It was such a shame as I am sure it would be a very pretty place to visit in the sunshine.











They do have some really interesting statues too!





Apple Strudel for afternoon tea
 and that night the ship was taken over by pirates!




During that night we arrived at our final destination Budapest.........

sailing away through Germany

So from Prague we had a coach journey to Nuremberg to pick up the ship.
We sailed along the Main-Danube canal, through many, many locks to arrive at The Danube and Weltenburg Abbey



 Then onto Regensburg









Afternoon Tea back on board
I have to say we were very well fed whilst on the cruise (I am sure I came back a few pounds heavier!) 





The view from our dining table, we had some beautiful sunsets.
and then the next day we visited Passau.

















Yarn Bomb in Passau
Afternoon Tea

Melk Abbey




More lovely food!
The nights entertainment
And the next day we will be in Austria.
