An over all of the trip

An over all of our cruise. The first few days on MS Amadeus were heavenly. Great food and friendly staff and wonderful sights. Amsterdam was exceptional with its canals and 16^th century homes. Cologne-Germany with it's beautiful Cathedral and ancient Roman archeological sites. This is where we got a free sample of perfume. The original Eau de Cologne. Koblenz. We waited here for 6 days taking bus trips to Rudesheim where the musical museum was. Miltenberg and Wertheim next. Here I helped blow my glass fish .At Cochem we visit the castle Reichburg and go wine tasting. Heidelberg we go to it's castle. The next day we are bused to Eltz castle the best of them all. The company tried their best with bus trips to castles and towns but the river would not go down. Enough is enough of busing and back to the ship. We get a comfortable bus and start moving to Linz Austria on Sunday so no semies allowed on road. , here the highlight was St Stephan's Cathedral. Vienna the next day. My second favourite city. Hofburg Palace and the Opera house stand out. We also got to see the Lipizzan horses in their stalls. Bratislava Slovakia, Maximilian's town has wonderful buildings also repaired after the plight of the wars. Budapest Hungary last with Buda castle where we have lunch. Again wonderful repaired buildings. One thing we learned we would never take a bus trip with all the packing and unpacking. The bonus is we met many wonderful people.
