Cruising Along

 Our excursion to the baths was wonderful. This was my first time and it was like several huge jacuzzis without jets. There were several pools all different temperatures and 2 large outdoor pools with fountains and jets. The out door pools were about 85 degrees and the air temperature was cooler so they felt warm. The indoor pools were all different temperatures but none hotter than about 100 degrees. It was a relaxing afternoon and I am looking forward to seeing baths in Baden Baden when we are there. We went to the szechenyi baths   They are considered one of the best baths   The baths are in an old baroque building with magnificent frescoes on the ceiling and walls. Truly a beautiful building and the outdoor pools were what one would imagine in Rome.   

After our bath time we were then bussed up to meet the ship which left Budapest early so as to be through a lock on the river.  With any group of people there are always a few that cause you to wish you weren’t part of the same group. We had several loud complaining passengers that were worried we were going to “miss” the welcome champagne toast because the bus was delayed.  Just a sad tale that I won’t bore you with the details.  Enough said we did make it back because the ship waited until our bus arrived. Lots of wasted words and negative energy

    The baths sound great! Glad you made it through the lock in time, I assume you did! I knew the ship would wait for your bus! What floor are you on, on the boat? Do you have a balcony? Just wondering... Missing you! By the way, Ruby and I and Foxy are not going to Seattle in May, so we'll be able to make your dinner on May 24th, I believe.

Travel conundrum

 Our first travel glitch has occurred. We were checking for seat reservations for the train from Passau to Baden Baden our next stop. Checked with reservations and was told there are no seat reservations in Germany. Alas low and behold there are reservations  We ran into this problem in the past 1 time but had no issues. This time we weren’t so lucky.  We have decided if no seats we will just sit in the dining car and nurse a glass of wine   There is always a way Since this trip is so well planned with only 5 train connections I will go ahead and reserve the rest of the seats.   Better not to be stressed.   Or else we will look at more regional trains Update to today’s travel.  We connected in Frankfurt. No problems we were even on the same platform. Of course almost every seat was accounted for and we felt like sneaks in the night awaiting someone to say sorry that is my seat in German that we have no idea of what is being said. Unfortunately this tra...

Almost home

 We did the final train rides. Freiburg to Munich with one transfer then to the airport using local trains.  The local trains were bedlam. People all over and attendants to help people find the correct trains.  Crazy busy from one side of the platform to the other and back again. Trains to the airport changing numbers etc Sorted out and arrived dragging the bags. You would think we bought a ton of stuff. Not so.  We always staff at the airport as it eases the transfer. We are to leave at 9:15 local time and still need to get through TSA and passport control.  So I sit in the lounge as the alarm went off at 5:30 to learn the flight has been delayed 1 hour and 15 minutes. Gate agent assured us no problems should make the connection.  It took Dan forever through passport control they couldn’t find his entry stamp. All is well now just the waiting game.  Looking back on the trip. It was a great trip sure some minor inconveniences lost items broken wheels a...
