I had a glass of wine in my hand, and was looking
up at the inky black night sky, illuminated by a thousand
stars, as we sailed into beautiful Budapest
frescoes in the Bishop's Residenz in
Würzburg; tucking into sausages
and sauerkraut at the Old Sausage
Kitchen in Regensburg and
shopping for gingerbread and
pink pepper chocolate in Passau.
Once on the Danube, we sailed
into Austria where we encountered
countless 'camera-ready' moments
between Melk and Krems and a
fabulous tour of the culturally rich
and history-packed capital, Vienna.
e end of this most memorable
of journeys was marked by a
moment I will cherish forever...
standing out on the top deck of our
Longship, there was music playing
gently in the background, I had
a glass of wine in my hand,
and was looking up at the inky
black night sky, illuminated by
a thousand twinkling stars, as
we sailed into the beautiful and
historic city of Budapest. It was a
truly magical experience and an
absolutely wonderful way to end
our 15-day adventure cruising
through Europe's majestic and
enthralling waterways.
