The sister and I are about to set sail on the beautiful blue Danube this week. Today is packing day. Tomorrow we fly to Munich, then change planes to land in Budapest, where we’ll spend two nights before embarking on a two week Viking cruise, completing our journey in Amsterdam.
Our ship will not be awaiting us on the beautiful blue Danube because of low water levels so we will be bussed to another city about sixty miles away for boarding .
if you watch Masterpiece Theater on PBS, you’ll be familiar with all those beautiful ads. Marketing works! I’m looking forward to time in Budapest and Vienna. We already have tickets for the tour of the Budapest opera house. I long to see Melk Abbey.
We will be in veranda stateroom #203, which is the number of my classroom many years ago. Is this an omen? Will reality be as good as those gorgeous scenes we see on TV?
We’ll find out.
