Today is the last proper day of this trip as tomorrow we commence the long trip home. Interestingly, today was the only day for the whole thrip where I got caught out in the rain, so can’t really complain. The morning was cloudy as we made our way to the railway station for a trip…

We were back in Prague today, faced with another cracking day of blue skies. With both of us still recovering from colds and a long day yesterday, we had a bit of a slow start. We had breakfast at the local cafe which has a quite innovative menu (below), but to day I stuck with…

We shuffled the schedule a bit to make sure we cover as many of the things we’d intended while we are here. On our river cruise we had a choice of visiting Salzburg or Cesky Krumlov. We decided that we would go to Salzburg which we both thoroughly enjoyed with the knowledge that we could…

Another beautiful day here in Prague, cool with blue skies. Today we.d organised to meet our friends for breakfast at a different breakfast place, this time closer to the tram lines. We were heading to the Prague Castle district and given that it is all up hill the tram seemed like a good option. Once…

Thankfully the rain cleared out overnight and we woke up to a fine, cool morning. We’d organised to meet my friends at the same cafe we had breakfast at on Friday, to keep it simple. After having some nice porridge, we started our walk for the day. Our plan was to thoroughly explore the the…

Yesterday was a relatively trouble free day that didn’t involve much except taxis and airports. Often a good gauge of the state of a city is the drive from the airport to the city. With Budapest, we came in on the river, so we saw it’s very best. Our taxi ride to the airport confirmed…

Today is our last day in Budapest before we have a travel day tomorrow getting to Prague, so probably no blog tomorrow. Our plan today was to go to the Buda Castle precinct. I had a brief visit the other day when I did the hospital tour, but Deb was keen to also take a…

Clear blue skies greeted us for disembarkation day. We got out of bed, showered and packed up our cabin, prior to the settling accounts. Our AirBnB won’t be ready until the afternoon, so we left our baggage on the ship while we went out exploring. Overall, we’d enjoyed the cruise. It was a great way…

Today is our last full day on the river cruise with disembarkation day being tomorrow. We woke up to still being on the Danube River sailing towards Budapest. We had run a little late with some some long wait times at the last two locks as we cruised down the river through Slovakia and then…
