Danube Cruise, October 2011

Our goals for this excursion were to introduce Claudia to Lew’s favorite city Vienna and to find out if river cruising would be OK when health begins to limit us.  It worked on both counts.  Vienna’s giant Ferris Wheel (the Riesenrad) gave breathtaking views, and the White Chimney Sweep Restaurant rendered the best dining experience of the trip.  And you couldn’t ask for a better river cruising experience than our journey from Romania though Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia to Hungary on the not-so-blue Danube.  Budapest presented unparalleled beauty, particularly while illuminated at night.  In fact, it was our most memorable scene.
