The start of our river cruise at Budapest, such a beautiful place but not a very long visit here so no photos taken, maybe on my camera which I will blog at a later date.....
We were now on our cruise ship MS Amastella
Not a great pic but plenty of colourful lounges
cruising Budapest to Vienna 282 kms
selfie of course
Plenty of low carb choices on this trip so very happy
under one of many many bridges along the way
the bathroom
the bedroom
Woody has his own chair
and sure liked sitting out on the balcony each day
the two of us ☺
close up of the man lol
certainly saw plenty of other river craft
Churches and castles along the way
a small bit of knitting to while away the time lol
beautiful morning
sorry for sideways shot.....weather was so warm each day and we did not pack for such high temps.....oh well lol
up the top of the ship
and as luck would have it sailed right under the flight path of the planes ☺☺
going through a lock.......28 in total on this cruise lol
another great ship after going through a lock
perfect weather for sure
We had a bus trip into Vienna to the Ringstrasse where we got to have glimpses of the amazing architecture and me being a BIG fan of STRAUSS happy to be here
just random snaps while in the bus
Hofburg palace
Parliament building
A zoomed shot as we walked along
our tour guide in Vienna
Statues everywhere you go.....
There were horse drawn carts taking people for rides in this area
Roman ruins
Aren't these stunning?
plenty of people around
St Stephen's cathedral....
inside of course
simply amazing......
Oh and after tour Woody enjoyed a nice ale ☺☺
simple selfie before going out to our Vienna concert
inside Liechtenstein City Palace
again amazing stuff to see on walls and ceilings
look at all that gold
the man walking through
In the final days of 2nd world war the palace suffered extensive damage from direct hits in a bombing raid and from and aircraft crashing onto the roof.....the palace was not restored until 1974/76
again amazing.......
now that is one hell of a chandelier lol
Well another post and so many more to go........sure having to rack my brain of what is what and if any wrong feel free to correct me lol

Yay Rex love you commenting xoxo
DeleteThe river cruise is something that appeals to me, and when you were on land the artistry you were surrounded with: statues, cathedrals, and chandeliers are amazing! Woody looked duly impressed :) xx
ReplyDeleteA river cruise is pretty neat as food and drink all there whenever and they look after you pretty good xo
