Month: October 2024

Last morning on board ship, and a farewell to Simon, who is heading back home to real life while I spend another ten days here conferencing.

We travelled through the night and arrived this morning in Germany, in Passau.

There was a choice of four different tours today: Salzburg and Cesky Krumlov day trips; or two local ones, a walking tour or a bike tour. We plumped for the bike tour and we were the only ones.

Started the day in Weissenkirchen. We didn’t visit the town at all, it was just where we were parked for the night.

Ah Vienna! The name will always evoke the 80s Ultravox song to me.

Another poor night’s sleep, the boat was on the move upriver all night and the engine was quite noisy. (My life is so hard!)

Another bad nights sleep, first waking up too hot and then getting too cold. Am I Goldilocks?

Some of you may be wondering when I was ever going to get around to some work related activities on my sabbatical.

We thought this was going to be our last full day in Budapest, but surprise! Our boat doesn’t leave town until Tuesday evening, even though we board tomorrow. Doh!

A lovely sunny day with some autumn chill.
