"Winter has returned" was the comment from our cruise director this morning. Cold and wet. We sailed through the morning to Regensburg by lunch and then set off on tours. We "active walkers" set a cracking pace as we traversed the Danube several times before sightseeing in the old town, including a Roman gate. The showers were kind. Gentle, though persistent.
Back onboard we set sail - backwards! The Danube at present is rising at over 5cm an hour but this was worse two weeks ago. We are not on the ship we should be as it couldn't pass under the low bridges to get to Budapest so the plan has been that we swap tomorrow with the one we were planned to be on. Once on the Rhine all will be well as the Americans blew up the bridges that could have caused a problem! Bottom line - we had to repack which is annoying and we lose our lovely crew which is sad. The ship is identical so no issue there. Hopefully the swap over will go smoothly. They are very efficient and even when things don't go to plan, Plan B or C is executed seamlessly.
Fingers crossed for no rain tomorrow.
How ironic that World War 2 is affecting your holiday! :)
