We docked in Melk and the tour today was of an Abbey and then a walk through town and then back to the boat. Its seems the sports car are following us, from the Abbey we could see about 20 sports car stopped in the main street, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches, then they turned around and sped of in the opposite direction. The abbey was beautiful and the video is of the water feature as you walk in. Some crazy people did a 35k bike ride from Melk to Durnstein, we sailed on the boat at 12.30 and docked at Durnstein at 2.30. While we waiting for the bike riders to get to the boat we wandered around the town. It poured rain and we got soaked but we didn't really care, it is the first time it has rained so we have been lucky. We had our invite to the Portabello restaurant tonight, it was a beautiful Italian dinner of 8 courses. Way too much food.Read more

Today we arrived in Vienna, we had a bus tour around Vienna and then we wandered around window shopping. The shops weren't open as it is a Sunday but we will go back into town tomorrow afternoon after our tours, do some shopping and hopefully do a horse drawn carriage ride. Tonight we went to a private concert at Liechtenstein palace and it was truly amazing, we had 2 ballerinas from the Austrian ballet dance to the Blue Danube.Read more
TravelerThe concert sounds amazing! So jealous! Lovely photo of you both in front of the carriage. Xx
Today we chose different tours, Jen went to Palace in Vienna and I did at trip to Bratislava which is the capital of Slovakia. The old town in Bratislava was beautiful, we may have taken a wrong turn in our free time and nearly missed the bus back to the ship. We had lunch when we got back to boat and then took a bus back into Vienna and did our horse drawn carriage ride, which was lovely. Then we had the Captains cocktail party and then a Gala dinner. We are both exhausted and looking forward to a couple of days in Budapest just doing what every we want.Read more
Today we arrived in Budapest, we had the morning at the local Markets which were amazing. Our tour started at 1.30 and we got to see both sides of the city, Buda & Pest and them we went to a piano recital at the institute for the blind. This was not my sort of music but it is nice that scenic supports the institute. Back on the boat we had a Hungarian folk band and dances, it was very entertaining. Then after dinner we sat on the sundeck as we cruised around Budapest and enjoyed the lights of the city. Tomorrow is an early start as we need to have our bags outside our doors by 8.30 and our shuttle to the hotel is at 10.00.Read more
