2025 Hiking & Budapest Cruise

Cruise Check-Out – Passau to Zürich

Well, everything has an end—except a sausage, which has two!

Today marked the final day of our 9-day river cruise, and we’re heading home with a suitcase full of memories, laughter, and plenty of good meals shared with friends. True to form, everything went off like (Swiss) clockwork—smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

The ship’s crew handled our check-out and luggage transfer with their usual precision. Before long, we were comfortably seated on Bus #2, beginning our journey from Passau, Germany, back to Zürich Airport.

There’s little to report from the road—an easy 8-hour drive through peaceful countryside. Our cheerful driver, Lina, made two quick pit stops and a more extended break for lunch to keep us all comfortable and content.

We’ve now checked into the Holiday Inn Express near Zürich Airport—a convenient and practical location, before the last two days of our journey.

Tomorrow, we plan to visit friends in Winterthur, a perfect closing chapter before flying back on Friday.Baca lagi
