Was so happy when they re-opened the Chain Bridge again in Budapest on the Danube River after being closed for over two years for renovations. I’ve walked across many times to get from the Buda side to the Pest side.

Mark your calendar for May 5th 2024 as that’s when I’d love for you to join me on the beautiful AmaMagna river cruise ship as we sail the lower Danube through the Iron Gates to spectacular Budapest.

The last stop on our river cruise was in Nuremberg & before hitting their Christmas market we went on a WW2 tour which included a walk on the plaza where the rallies were held, then got to visit courtroom 600 where the Nuremberg Trials were held.

This star lined street leads the way to the 12th century old stone bridge in Regensburg where right next to it you’ll find the famous historical "Wurstkuchl" (Sausage Kitchen) which is the oldest one in the world!
Their Thurn und Taxis entrance fee Christmas market is ranked as one of the most romantic ones with its palace backdrop wonderland setting🎄
Also found some smaller markets in town where many locals gathered & the apfelstrudel stall was calling out to me so just had to indulge 😋

Arrived in Passau in the evening so took a walk to the Christmas market and watched them make our dessert 😋 with St Stephens Cathedral lit up in the background

After we left Durnstein, we sailed through the picturesque Wachau Valley to Melk. The Abbey lights up the town & loved the advent windows on one of the buildings.

It was active hike day for Durnstein & you can see from pic 1 where the castle ruins are way off in the distance up the hill. Certainly a good workout for the legs but a fantastic view of the Danube River from the top! We were rewarded with a wine tasting after we climbed back down 🍷

After my earlier post of the daytime Vienna pictures, here are the nighttime ones 😍 It was very busy at their main Christmas Market but the lights & decorated stalls made it all worthwhile. If you zoom in on the full city hall one, you will find a band on top of the roof of one of the stalls! Then we had to walk back to St Stephens to see it all lit up plus the surrounding streets

29/11/2022

I have to divide up my Vienna pictures into daytime and nighttime ones because both need to be seen! St Stephens Cathedral was sparkling in the sunshine & we could see the shapes of the lights that would be turned on later in the streets. We visited one of the smaller Christmas markets and had some Gluhwein (mulled wine) plus watched the chef in the window at Demel’s preparing their famous treat that everyone was lining up for 😋

We had a lovely day in Bratislava🌞Saw the nicknames UFO tower, climbed the stairs to the Hrad castle which gave us great views of the St Martin’s Cathedral and the new buildings built behind the old city. The shop window had the best small business sign ❤️ and the famous Man At Work sculpture in the town square is well photographed. Busy at the Christmas market & then a nice stroll back to the

Not sure if you want to sit inside or outside in your river cruise cabin? On the with you don’t have to decide when you have one of their twin balcony ones!

Before joining my Danube River cruise on the its always enjoyable to go through the Great Market Hall in Budapest. 😍

My attempt at creativity on the Poetry II as we sailed up the Rhone River. If you zoom in on the bell, you can see the reflection of the beautiful buildings in it 📸

What do you do when visiting a city known for its cuisine? A cooking class of course! This was one of the included Discovery options on our Rhone River cruise on the Poetry II
The chefs showed us how to make a cheese appetizer, main course of chicken & mashed potatoes (which had an entire litre of cream in them!) and finished off with sautéed peaches in a Beaujolais wine sauce. Then we got to dig in and wow, was it yummy 😋

Both sides of the Bridge of Avignon (aka The Saint Benezet’s Bridge) at night which was an easy walk from the Poetry II.
The story of this bridge is fascinating & when it was originally built, had 22 arches & at one time was the only place to cross between Lyon & the Mediterranean Sea. After a siege the bridge was destroyed but the people of Avignon rebuilt it. Unfortunately in the 1600’s after strong flooding on the Rhone, many of the arches collapsed & it has never been finished since. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Forgot to share a picture from our “ghostly” walking tour that we did at 9pm from the Poetry II. We meandered through the cobblestone streets & were treated to a violin solo in an old castle tower

One of the options on our Active & Discovery river cruise on the Rhone river was a chance to kayak through some rapids surrounded by incredible scenery. Was a bit nervous of the rapids at first but managed to stay upright so was a fantastic excursion.

Finally made it to the Avalon Poetry and very excited to begin my Rhone River cruise adventure!

Countdown is on for my Rhône River cruise with !!
Love that it’s an Active & Discovery departure (then I can justify eating all the wonderful French food 😋

Who thinks there is nothing to do on a river cruise? I’m having a hard time deciding on the choices in Avignon. I’m going on my first Active & Discovery itinerary on the Rhone in France with
My goal is to showcase all the different ways you can see the stops along the way. Which choice would you pick?

As our world is opening up again, why not take a bucket-list river cruise along the Nile. You’ll get to see Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza which is not only the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but the only one that has survived all the way to modern times. Constructed between 2560 and 2540 BCE, the pyramid was built for Pharaoh Kufu – the second pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty. It is the largest of all the tombs built in the ancient world and has towered over the West Bank of the Nile River for more than 4,000 years.
