First Day in Vienna
22 ottobre 2024, Austria ⋅ ⛅ 50 °F
Our first stop was The Imperial Palace, home to the Habsburgs until 1918. The stables house a school to train riders for the Lipizzaner Stallions. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a horse receiving his heat treatment to relax his back muscles.
We then saw the Plague Column memorial assembled in 1679. We were amazed by how complex it was. So much to take in.
St. Stephen's Cathedral is the oldest we've ever seen. They broke ground in 1137, and completed the church in 1578. The tile roof was spectacular. Nice that George Clooney and Nespresso are infecting this cathedral just like Starbucks is doing in Buda.
Swarovski was a must. Didn't buy anything but loved the crystal Star Wars!
Ended our outing with lunch at Cafe Dremel, one of the traditional coffee houses. It was beautiful, filled with baked goods and sweets. Delicious lunch.Leggi altro

Art and Sausage
23 ottobre 2024, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
We took the subway and spent most of this rainy day in the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum. Much of the collection belonged to the Habsburgs. Most of our time was spent on the Dutch Painters. We saw our first Vermeer today. A woman, but not with a pearl earring.
Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquities were amazing.
Had to have a sausage from a stand. Delish!

Krems, Wachau Valley Austria
24 ottobre 2024, Austria ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Our first stop was The Gottweig Abbey run by Benedictine monks. It's a beautiful setting in the hills with an abundance of grape vines and apricot trees. The monks produce wines and apricot products to fund the abbey and all of their activities in the surrounding area. They run parishes, schools and other ministries. Like most prominent properties in the area, the Abbey was taken over by the Nazis, but the Benedictines were able to reclaim what was left of it.
We had dumplings with an entire apricot in the center...yuuuum. The rest of our day was sitting on the top deck while sailing to Passau, Germany. The Danube cuts through the Wachau Valley. It's a beautiful region with old fortifications, castles and vineyards.
We have enjoyed many locks, and can watch the bow cam when we're inside!Leggi altro

Passau, Germany
25 ottobre 2024, Germania ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F
We spent the early part of the day in Passau. The cobblestone streets are home to colorful traditional buildings, St. Stephen's Cathedral, shops and restaurants. This area is prone to flooding. The town is at the confluence of three rivers. So essential living areas of homes are on the highest levels of the building.
The morning weather has been foggy and misty, but it burned off by noon. Sean's good at capturing the blue skies.
We ate at a quaint cafe, Anton's. So good.
It's hard to believe we have to leave the ship soon. Viking Jarl had been tremendous. The staff has spoiled us from the first moment we stepped on the ship. Food is great, guides are knowledgeable, and the ship is the perfect mix of luxury and comfort.Leggi altro

Regensburg, Germany
26 ottobre 2024, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
It's sad to think that our ship is docked and we're on our last shore excursion. We toured the beautiful town of Regensburg. It's one of the few towns mostly spared from bombing, so it's filled with original architecture. I was intrigued by Roman ruins again. There was a fortress wall with many of the original boulders intact.
Other buildings were colorful and carefully preserved.
We ate at Die Historische Wurstkuchl. The 900-year-old building is notable for its role in catering for the workers who built the Stone Bridge. Delicious sausage again.
Regensburg is home to the unique Dachshund Museum. While we didn't have time to go through the museum, we did enjoy the huge array of products with Dachshunds.Leggi altro

Journey Home
27 ottobre 2024, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F
No pics today on our 22-hour journey home. We started in Munich, stopped in Atlanta, and finally made it home. We had plenty of time to reflect on our big trip, and really had no complaints. Mostly everything exceeded our expectations, especially the friendly service on the ship. We can't say enough about the hard-working team that catered to our every need.
As amazing as it is to experience the food, the history and architecture, meeting other people made this trip truly special. Locals, guides and other guests on the ship were welcoming and warm. From Budapest to Regensburg, the local people helped us understand that we have more in common than we have differences.Leggi altro
