Yesterday we were picked up at 10 AM at the the Kings Court hotel by a nice Mercedes van and driver I hired over the internet and driven on a 3.5 hour trip to Vilshofen Germany, a small town on the Danube river where our ‘ship’, the AMASonata was docked. The cost for six of us was around $220 total, and we gave the driver a $20 tip, or $80/couple.
Beautiful agricultural scenery along the way. Vilshofen is a neat little town with cobble streets at the junction of the Danube and the Vils rivers. Downtown is an easy walk from the boat.
Today at 11:30 AM the ship transits the short distance to Passau where we walk around town or to a castle, we haven’t decided which. The Danube is very low, to the point of having to unload some upstream ships to move them. We hope this is not in store for us. We will see…
