A lot of water has gone under the bridge since my last post, but our ship has not gone under the bridge in Novi Sad, Serbia due to high water. The cruise ended four days early but our vacation has not; we elected to stay on board while about 130 of the 150 passengers chose to take a bus to Bucharest where they will stay at the Hilton and take day trips. We are enjoying the city of Novi Sad and are also taking side trips on the bus, provided by the cruise line. This is much more relaxing than the big city; we go to Bucharest tomorrow and will have our stay there for two nights on the cruise line and then two nights on our own.
This post is a little out of order and I will post an update of what we did between June 16th and today when I have time later today.
This is the first of many happy travels. Regardless of where we go, we plan to enjoy the culture and experience life as locals...hopefully. Actually, it's really not the first of our happy travels, but it is the first time we've tried to communicate, inform and hopefully entertain anyone except ourselves with our travel adventures. We hope you will enjoy.
Here we go!
On June 10th we depart for a two week cruise on the Danube River, starting in Germany and ending in Romania. We travel through twelve countries and visit 22 cities before we disembark. We are then on our own cross country via train to the Black Sea, Macedonia and northern Greece (Thessaloniki, Kavala and the island of Thasos. After that little jaunt we will spend the rest of our stay with Kathy's family in Athens.

Looking forward to more stories and pictures!
