On Monday March 2nd, we docked and visited Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia situated on the Danube by the border of Austria and Hungary. It has a pedestrian only old town center.
On Tuesday March 3rd, we passed the little village we were going to visit and docked further on. We had a short bus ride back to the village of Durnstein.
We also visited the Melk Abbey on this same day.
On Wednesday March 4th, we chose to travel by bus from the boat to the Czech Republic to visit the picturesque town of Český Krumlov.
Here is a sneak peek of the town surrounded by water.
Thursday March 5th and Friday March 6th we were in Vienna.
Carriage rides and Apple Strudel and a whole lot more.
Saturday we cruised back to Budapest.
Throughout our River cruise we were blessed with very decent weather. That was not a guarantee for this time of the year. Looking forward to putting my thoughts together for each stop of our cruise and to post all my photos. That will have to wait for when we get home. Thanks for traveling along with us!
On Sunday March 8th we disembarked from the AmaMagna and were bused to the airport. We flew to London boarded a bus to Cambridge and checked into our apart/hotel for 6 nights in the college town.
Once checked into our hotel we found a pub close to the apart/hotel for some comfort food before we turned in for the night.
