• Cruise Day 2 - Linz, Austria

    July 8 in Austria ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

    It rained nonstop today, the 2nd day of our round-trip river cruise to Budapest, Hungary.

    While many passengers decided to stay on board our vessel, Excellence Empress, I initially thought I wanted to brave the weather. I put on my raincoat, grabbed an umbrella, and stepped off the ship… only to find my pants and shoes starting to get wet within minutes.

    At that point, I decided: no, thank you—today’s city tour of Linz wasn’t worth sticking to my bravery! However, Ursula left with the rest of the group, even though she wasn't feeling well this morning. 🇨🇭Power to Ursula!

    Instead, I stayed cozy on board, read up on the town’s fascinating history online, and snapped a few moody photos through the rain from our cabin window, while Ursula toured the old city with the group and visited the ARS Electronica Center.

    Fingers crossed for sunshine tomorrow!
