The cruise continues to pass by a bewildering array of countries
– Hungary, Slovakia and into Austria today. The Viking Lif passed right through
the centre of Bratislava, which is a mostly modern city. The surrounding
countryside is mostly flat and covered with trees but there have been glimpses
of distant mountains.
The entry into Vienna involved locks and a number of
extremely low bridges. The Captain arranged for most of the infrastructure on
the top deck – including his wheelhouse – to be folded down to pass under them.
TSH stayed on the top but made sure he stood on the lowest section. The hope is
that the river does not rise further, or there will be real trouble with the
voyage.
TSH and Diva have been asked about ‘the royal baby’ by a
number of people from the US, who seem far more interested than are most Brits.
They were more surprised to be asked about the British experience with crop
circles, which may (or may not) be of alien origin. Linked to a question about
whether they saw aliens in South America near the Nazca lines.
