Danube River Cruise

Our first day was in Vienna. The downtown area had no cars except early in the morning to restock the shops. All but one building was very old tradiational styling.


This is Jeff, Renie and Jim. We met Jeff and Renie our first night on the cruise at dinner. They were also from Texas. We enjoyed them so much. We were at the Vienna city Park. In the background is the 100 year old Ferris wheel.

Downtown Vienna, we took this picture from a little coffee house, "Aida" that was on the second floor.

Mozart's house was behind St. Stephen's Cathdral

We had to go through this door to get to the street where his house was located--yes a door!

We found it! Morzart's house--one of the 70 residences he had inVienna--he moved every six months.

Mozart's street, his house is on the left.

The Spanish Riding School of Vienna--a scene in the movie Patton was filmed here.

Christmas decorations in downtown Vienna

St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna. If you look closely you can see that the right side of the church is covered with a huge canvas so you don't miss what it looks like.They were steam cleaning the facade.

Carriage rides--10 euros a person or about $15. We walked.

After dinner on the ship, Jeff, Renie, Jim and I went for a walk, these were some apartments.

The third morning we woke up to picturesque scenes passing us on the river as we floated into the cities of Buda and Pest.
