.
Another satisfying river cruise found Don and Deb cruising the Danube in late August, 2014, commencing in Nuremberg and finishing in Budapest. Once again, excellent guides, worthy food, views of history-filled cities and towns and waterways, names and places re-connected from school days and beyond, and memories to savor for a long time filled our days.

Viking: "During this 8-day journey, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube River. Explore both sides of Hungary’s capital, traditional “Buda” and more cosmopolitan “Pest”, and from Fishermen’s Bastion see how the river divides this fascinating city. Experience Vienna’s imperial architecture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria’s Wachau Valley. And in Germany, explore a baroque cathedral and stroll cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local legends, and understand why Strauss immortalized the “Blue Danube” in his famous melody. "
