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…

We woke up to a cooler day here in Prague this morning, a welcome relief from the hot days in Budapest and a hot one here yesterday. There was a forecast of rain in the afternoon and evening, so we thought we’d concentrate on the Museum today, so we wouldn’t get too caught up in…

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.

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…

We had a big day yesterday in Vienna yesterday, so I decided to combine our time in Vienna into one post. We woke up yesterday at about the same time as we docked in Vienna and it was looking like another warm day. We had breakfast and then embarked a bus to take us to…

It was another fine and hot day for us today. Deb decided on a quiet morning while she struggled with the head cold that has now seemed to infect a good portion of the passengers. The morning excursion was to the Melk Abbey, which is a Benedictine abbey above the town of Melk which is…

Today, our trip crossed over in to Austria as we had a bus trip to Salzburg. Just like when we crossed from the Netherlands into Germany there was an immediate change. It was more scenic on the roads, the Austrian’s seem to go all out on the flower boxes on the front of their homes.…
