So, something happened to the notepad today and I lost Bluetooth connectivity. This meant no physical keyboard. The spare time we had today was spent solving the issue. Trying to download drivers over a wonky internet connection was pretty frustrating!
Today we awoke in Durnstein Austria, we took a walk into the village, and after an hour or so it was back to the boat for a 2 hour cruise through Wachau Valley, a UNESCO sight. After that it was off to Melk for a tour of the abbey. Internet permitting I’ll just throw a load of photos after this. Unfortunately there ws no photography allowed inside the abbey.
Just to make the day a little more difficult we had an all passengers meeting tonight where we were told that there wasn’t enough water in the Danube at it’s highest point. The company has managed to find another boat the other side of the “dryspot” to take us to Amsterdam. Unfortunately the new boat has 6 less cabins than are needed to transfer all the passengers across. In addition, it means packing and taking a coach for 70kms (45 miles) to pick up the next boat. The good news is the boat is from a sister company that is superior to this one!
The internet doesn’t seem good enough to publish pictures tonight, maybe I will be able to load them tomorrow.
Last bit of good news, it seems that 6 couples have volunteered to leave the cruise, so we should be ok!!
