  • #Repost @dangerousbiz ・・・ Europe’s grand cities like Paris and Vienna are great, but it’s usually the small towns and villages that strike me the most. On my recent cruise with Avalon Waterways, we visited so many little towns that just oozed European charm and old-world history. Pictured here is the Hungarian town of Visegrád. This town today is just a passing-through point for many Danube cruises, but once upon a time it was home to the summer palace of King Matthias Corvinus. As we hiked up to the ruins of the castle high on the hill, it wasn’t at all difficult to understand why a king might want to build a summer home here. In Europe, do you like the big cities or the little villages best?
  • #Repost @michaelturtle ・・・ This is the face of a very sweaty guy who's hiked up the hill with others from his @AvalonWaterways ship to get this incredible view of the Danube! (It was totally worth it but perhaps I shouldn't have had that second glass of wine at lunch right before we started!) #AvalonAD
  • We ventured to Clam Castle to meet Count Carl Philip Clam Martinic and tour his estate (a castle that dates back to the 12th century). We also happened upon #ClamLive, the band Foreigner and 10,000 fans below the castle grounds! A night to remember! #avalonad
  • #Repost @landlopers ・・・ After leaving Vienna, the Avalon Waterways ship I’m on this week arrived into one of my favorite parts of the world — the Wachau Valley. Most famous for the white wines produced here, it’s that contrast of the hilltop fields alongside the Danube that helps make the region so beautiful. To experience Wachau actively, I joined a fun bike trip through many of the small villages and rolling vineyards having an incredible time along the way. #avalonad
  • #Repost @landlopers ・・・ A great aspect of returning to cities that one already loves is the opportunity to explore even deeper, learn more and of course do those activities that we know we enjoy. Thankfully we have two full days here in Vienna on board the Avalon Waterways cruise, enabling me lots of opportunities to get out and about and enjoy the city in my own way. Near the top of my do to list was heading to the top of one of Vienna’s most iconic landmarks, St Stephen’s Cathedral. A church of some sort has stood on this spot since the 12th century and over the many centuries it has played a key role not only in daily Viennese life but also in the Imperial life of the Hapsburg Dynasty. I was there though for the views, which certainly didn’t disappoint. #avalonad
