11/24/13   Our Wonderful Time on the Sound of Music Cruise Ship

Here we are preparing to board the Sound of Music cruise ship.   The temperatures were just a little above freezing, so we were all bundled up.


Upon boarding the cruise ship, we were greeted by the colorful reception area.


Before we could even complete unpacking our suitcases, we were required to attend a mandatory safety drill.  


The food was delicious.  It was difficult to avoid bringing extra pounds of weight back home with three great meals served every day.


The air may have been cool, but the skies were usually clear and it was good to take time to enjoy the sights as we slowly cruised down the Danube.


Here we are again, enjoying another wonderful supper.


Stuffed pepper served at lunch time.


As we docked in each city, the meal menus featured foods that were local favorites.   Here is part of the evening buffet bar, when we were docked in Vienna.


Suzanna is enjoying a Baked Alaska dessert.


Richard is enjoying the sights of Passau as we glide silently by.


Every day it was interesting to see how the housekeeper would arrange our towels and face cloths while we were dining.


Local talents provided the evening entertainment in the ship’s lounge.


Suzanna is taking one last opportunity to enjoy the sights of Budapest, as we complete our cruise.


Richard is preparing to load our luggage on the bus, as we head for the airport for our return to England.   It has been a very blessed time!
