ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
In the Budapest article, we told you about everything we did in the city including the tour offered as part of our Viking cruise. So this article is just about the cruise itself and how we came to be on the Viking Lif.
We traveled to Budapest primarily to board our Viking Cruise down the Danube but we also wanted to give ourselves a few days to explore all the city had to offer. Budapest is a beautiful modern city that I would encourage you to visit.
Our target after Vienna was Budapest to catch our cruise on the Danube and we decided to take a train. The train ran right through Bratislava, Slovakia, so we decided to stay two nights on the way to Budapest.
Although our last post had us in Vienna, our blog updates are always behind our actual travels. As I write this, I’m in Bordeaux, France, having just finished an inexpensive, one-way, two-week car rental starting in Nice. I want to share my experience to help you plan your own epic European road trip.
We had long planned to visit Vienna, partly because I had never been there. Our last try, a few years ago, was canceled due to illness. As with last time, I bought tickets in advance for the Lippizaner stallion show and an orchestral Mozart concert.
