Danube River Cruise My European Vacation

Only a couple of legs left on my trip. From Vienna not far down the road we caught a river boat in Krems to get a lovely morning cruise down the Danube. We got off the boat in Spitz and went on to visit the Melk Abby and have lunch. Next stop Landzeit which was just gorgeous scenery! But no real rest here just a quick potty break. Then it was on to Salzburg, which was the last city visited on this wonderful trip. 

Next time I'll show pictures of Salzburg.

Vienna Austria My European Vacation

I did not get to see a lot of Vienna. It was rainy and nasty the day we had a free day. I should not judge the city this harshly but I really was not that impressed and it was my least favorite city on the trip.
Here are some photos of the architecture and some landmarks.  It really is a beautiful city with a lot of culture.
Enjoy!

Danube Evening River Cruise Budapest My European Vacation

Before I go on to Vienna I want to share the photos from our evening river cruise in Budapest. This was one of my favorite parts of the vacation. I can't believe I forgot to share these. The photos were on my iPhone but here they are anyway. One can never get to many photos of the Parliament, especially at night from the Danube.

Baden & Vienna Woods Austria My European Vacation

We continue on into Austria. The first stop was a small village called Baden where we had lunch and I drank my first Austrian Radler!  
Yummm so much better then Americas Shandy's.
BTY....radlers and shandy's are beer mixed with lemonade or grapefruit juice or soft drink. I think.

Next 5 photos are form Baden.
Then the rest are from Vienna Woods.



Quickly we had to coach onto Mayerling /Vienna Woods for a tour and to bask in the beautiful Austrian countryside.
We were told this is the place Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and his lover committed suicide. "Oh What a Scandal back then."
