This morning we arrived in Koln in Germany, our last stop before arriving in Amsterdam. Our waking your started at 09:00. We walked around the area near the river and ended at the cathedral. I went into the cathedral, for some reason I think it was closed last time I visited. It’s very large and…

Posted on April 22, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

This morning after breakfast I was setting up my GoPro on the back of the ship and the door was quite difficult to open on the deck. Only after setting it up did I notice the other passengers looking at damage on the ship. Apparently in the early morning the ship hit a bridge. Mostly…

Posted on April 13, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

River Cruise – Day 5 [Embarkation Day – Budapest, Hungary]

Posted on April 12, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

This morning I planned to visit the national archives, but when I arrived I was told it was closed. I walked around Castle Hill a little before taking a bus to Wekerle estate which was interesting, but not worth the time to travel there and back. Castle Hill Photos: Wekerle Estate Photos: I took the…

River Cruise – Day 4 [Budapest, Hungary]

Posted on April 11, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

I started this morning doing some research on places to visit. Then I went and had a quick breakfast at the hotel. My plans started to unravel. My first stop, the museum of applied arts was closed – apparently for over a year now. I saw an interesting church on the map – when I…

River Cruise – Day 3 [Budapest, Hungary]

Posted on April 10, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

So against my common sense I decided to start the day with a 8:15 AM tour of the Hungarian Parliament. Too early for a tour on vacation. The tour was fairly short, but the building was spectacular – although there were massive repairs made after WWII. Don’t believe me – click here: http://superb-cruises.com/wp-content/uploads/attachments/File:Lanc_hid_-_Budapest_3_Febr_1946_Foto_Takkk_Hungary.jpg After the…

River Cruise – Day 1 [Budapest, Hungary]

Posted on April 8, 2019September 24, 2019 by Aaron Boltman

I arrived in Budapest this morning. My checked bag did not. I’m not very surprised, I barely made my connection in O’Hare, but usually the bags are faster than the people. The terminal change was the culprit. The bag did eventually make it, but as of 11 PM it still hasn’t been delivered. After filing…
