Linz, Day 5 Evening

We arrived this evening in the port city of Linz, gateway to Salzburg a couple hours away. We'll go by bus tomorrow morning. Tonight we enjoyed the elegant Captain's dinner after being introduced to the crew while enjoying cocktails. Crab cake (amuse bouche), scallops over risotto ( starter), wild mushroom soup, chateaubriand, and a hazelnut mouse dessert. All with plenty of Austrian wine.

Afterwards, we were entertained in the lounge by local classical artists pop laying a variety of Austrian music including Strauss, the Blue Danube waltz, Edelweiss and theme from Schindler's List, amongst others. Now, a nightcaps of Calvados and Grand Marnier will insure a good night's sleep before an 8am start tomorrow... Although, we do gain an hour tonight. :)Read more
