    Krakow

    July 31, 2017 in Poland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Beautiful night out for dinner and walk around the square. Apparently Krakow centre was untouched by WW11 so has preserved it's original form. Not commercialized like Prague. One of Europe's unspoilt cities.
    We are staying in old part of Krakow at Hotel Unicus. Perfect choice. Lovely room. Right in the square. Will have to get Ainsley to be a travel agent!    Read more

    Poland . Auschwitz- Birkenau

    August 1, 2017 in Poland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    When Auschwitz got too full the prisoners were made to build a new camp not too far away where they could be close to places where they were made to work. This camp was called Birkenau. This was built out in farm land and built of wood. Conditions were atrocious. Freezing cold in winter and very hot in summer. All Jews were gased and burnt. Fit prisoners were kept for work. Up to 90000 people in this camp. Women were used for experiments. Train loads of prisoners were sent there. Doctors picked healthy males for work. Old people,sick people,kids and pregnant women were exterminated. So bloody Cruel!Read more

Graham had to buy his spicy bier stick...yummy. Diet is down the gurgler. Bought 2 girls hungarian dress and Libby a top. Boys got boring t-shirts.

    Our last day in Hungry. We all went to Gizi s place for a cup of coffee. She got us a lovely ice cream cake. Yummy.Very sad to go. Gizi and Anna Marie had a cry. Glad to see us but sad to see us go. Great to catch up with them. She hasn't changed much.
    We boarded our boat this afternoon. Our boats name is Ama Reina. Lovely boat. Eat and drink as much as you like for free. Will be the size of a house by the time I get home. Beautiful warm night. After dinner we sat on deck and enjoyed the views. What a way to go.    Read more

    Vienna

    Monday 7th August 2017
    Last night we had a few drinks and were the last ones to go . Today we arrived in Vienna at about lunchtime. We passed through some locks and it bought back memories of our family boat trip in France (He! He!) The lock was different. It dropped down instead of opening like a gate. Went sight seeing in the main centre which is called the 1st District.Read more

    Vienna

    August 8, 2017 in the Netherlands ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After our quick afternoon tour we went back to the boat for an early dinner as we were going to a classical concert at the City Palais Liechtenstein. What a beautiful palace. No wounder the poor people rebelled when they wasted so much money on such extravagant buildings. We got all dressed up and had drinks before the concert in this most beautiful room. Chandelier and gold on the walls. After drinks we listened to a great orchestra playing music by Strauss and Mozart. Very dynamic display by young musicians. Also the Vienna boys choir now allows girls to join this Academy and we had a group of young girls sing to us. Also had a young lady sing a aria and a spunky young guy sung a tenor. Awesome night. We are getting culturally sophisticated.Read more

    Vienna

    August 9, 2017 in the Netherlands ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    To day we went to Schonbrunn Palace. It is the most famous and beautiful palace in Vienna. This is the summer palace of the Habsburgs who ruled much of Europe for over 600 years. The most influential ruler to have lived here was the famous Maria Theresa. Amazing place but not as good as Versailles. Lovely carriages. Beautiful gardens and statues.Read more
