We travelled all night and pulled into our slip in Vienna at 9am. Off for a 3 hr bus and walking tour. We saw the Hapsburg Palace, St. Stephens church. Walked along the pedestrian mall. Many expensive shops! Back to the boat for lunch and a nap for me. Denis, Paul and Lee stayed in town and toured. Waiting for them to get back for dinner. Some ancient Roman walls there too!Leer más

Wednesday. Krems and cruising Wachau va
30 de agosto de 2017, Austria ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
We did a 3hr tour this morning of the Gottweib Abbey, near Krems. It is a Benedictine Abbey first constructed in about 1100 in wood. This burned down and the current structures are from 1700s. There are 42 monks who serve the local area. They produce several good wines which we tasted. All good! And apricot liquors and scnapps which we also got to try. We were back for lunch and now a cruise through the Wachau Valley for 3 hrs. Complete with wine and waltzes! Apple strudel later. The most scenic part of the Romantic Danube cruise.Leer más

Día 12
Thursday is Passau
31 de agosto de 2017, Austria ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
We arrived in Passau as we were eating breakfast (which are great!) and at 10 left for a short walking tour through town. Only about 50,000. Very quaint and a Bavarian feel. We ended at
St Stephens church . The most baroque roccoco church yet. With the latest pipe organ in the world. Almost 18000 pipes! We were entertained with a half hour organ concert. Quite a show!
We shopped a bit then back to the boat for a great lunch. The boys rented bikes and are biking around town in the heat and we are here until 9pm . Then off to Regensburg. Wonderful trip so far. Everything is great😊.
Remind me to tell you the story of the monks fasting for lent'Leer más

Día 13
Friday is Regensburg
1 de septiembre de 2017, Alemania ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
So we had to overnight in Passau last night as the water level is low. But it has rained overnight and all day today. And pretty cool too! About 11c. Anika the guide took us to for walking tour of the old town. Very beautiful Bavarian city of 150000. We had lunch of beer, roast pork, boiled potatoes and veggies. Then Apple strudel of course! We now have an hour and a half bus ride back to the ship which hopefully has been able to make it's way some of the way towards Regensburg. Not sure how tomorrow will pan out as we are supposed to spend our day in Nuremburg.
Tonight's dinner will be German. Bratwurst, sauerkraut and probably strudel!Leer más

Día 14
Saturday is Nuremburg!
2 de septiembre de 2017, Alemania ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Last full day of our Viking cruise. As we were unable to cruise to Nuremburg due to low water levels, we pulled into Regensburg at 8am. Still cool and threatening rain, we were on the bus by 9:30. The ship stayed in Regensburg. Paul, Cheryl, Lee, Den and i went to Nuremburg. On arrival we walked to a restaurant to eat yet again! Sausage, we have eaten so much!
The afternoon was a bus tour around the city and up to the castle. Back into old town for an hour of shopping. We are now on our way back to the ship in Regensburg for dinner. Then pack and off 2 bed. Our bus leaves the ship at 7am to come back again to Nuremburg to catch a 10am train to Munich!
The church we visited today is St Lawrence or st Lorez. And this is home to the Nuremburg trials.
Happy anniversary Christina and Mike ❤😚🎂Leer más

Día 15
Sunday Kings Hotel First Class
3 de septiembre de 2017, Alemania ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Arrived in Munich about noon by train. Busy morning as we up by 5. Had breakfast and said goodbye to friends on the ship - Mike and Gale from California. And Roger and Jahz our waiters. 1.5 hr bus to Nuremburg to catch a 10am train to Munich. Confused at the station but finally found our way on board for the one hour trip. A quick check in and we were off to find lunch. Found a great Italian place (tired of German food! ) and had wonderful pizza at L'osscaro. The boys took off on a walk about town. The rain was on and off and still cool. Margaret and I did the hop on off bus for a couple hours. Everything is closed Sunday in Munich. Another beautiful city. Home of the 1987 Olympics and the BMW museum.
I think tonight will be dinner and a possibly a steam before bed. Our train to Venice leaves at 11:30 tomorrow so not much time to see Munich 😔Leer más

Día 16
Hotel ca'Lucrezia, Venice
4 de septiembre de 2017, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We had a 6hr train ride to Venice. What a beautiful way travel through the alps! Quite similar Rockies however we don't have the quaint villages or fields of vineyards in Alberta. We arrived in time for a late dinner and we chose to do this along the Grand Canal. Pizza for me and spaghetti for Den. The hotel is very close to the train station so we walked there. Our room was on the 3rd floor which is actually the 4th. It was quite a chore to haul all our luggage up the steep narrow stairway! We had skylight looking out on rooftops. Also a chore to bring everything down again the next morning.
We are already halfway through our vacation. Time goes so quickly.Leer más

A day in Venice!
5 de septiembre de 2017, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
After a quick breakfast we walked to hotel palazzo abadessa with the help of two fellows to cart the luggage! With Paul and Cheryl we took the vaparetto to the other side of the island and dipped our toes in the ocean. Back to st. Mark's square and saw the bridge of sighs. A beautiful evening walking the streets, lanes and bridges and also an e evening vaparetto ride to see the lights. A beautiful city. We won't get to see it all so will have to return some time!Leer más
