Oct 15th - Oct 17th, 2010


Our last night on the ship. The time has gone quickly and we have had so much fun. Ditched the formal tour on Thurs and roamed the streets of Passua on our own and then spent a relaxing afternoon on the ship as we cruised down the river and thru the locks. Local entertainment brought on board has been fabulous. Tonight we a trio playing - two on violins and one on guitar. The last two days have been filled with a visit to the Melk Abby (which has a very interesting museum, old library and church), a topside cruise thru the Wachau Valley noted for its vineyards, a Vienna concert of Mozart and Strauss, a tour of old Vienna and the Ringstrasse, a show at the Spanish Riding School, the Captain's dinner and fun in the lounge afterwards with people we have met on the ship, Blake's story of his 3 shoes, up on deck this morning at 8am to cruise into Budapest, and meeting Dianne and Ivan at the Royal Palace in Budapest. We met them later on their ship which is docked 3 ships behind us. Tonight we are doing a night cruise of the harbour and lights. Nite, nite to all.
