We enjoyed the gala dinner last night with a 6 course meal culminating in the traditional Baked Alaska, followed by music and dancing.

Today we had a leisurely morning cruising from Esztergom to Budapest.

After lunch we had a coach and walking tour of Buda and Pest visiting sites such as the castle, the Parliament buildings and Heroes Square.

Tonight after dinner we will see Budapest by night.

Today we arrived in Bratislava. After breakfast we visited the castle and the town.

After lunch back on the boat we were treated to a fascinating talk by one of our fellow passengers – Colonel Piers Storie-Pugh – about his father’s experiences in Colditz.

After the talk we went up on the sun deck to watch as our boat went through the Gabcikovo Lock.
