3 countries in 1 day

Today began at 3.30am after a great sleep. A taxi to the airport, a quick coffe and we were off to Linz in Austria. As we got into the high country of Austria there was snow on the ground! not fresh but snow all the same. An hour at Linz for some pastries and then we were on our next train to Passau. everything ran smoothly and we were picked up at the train station and delivered to our boat the Amaedus brilliant. Over 100 passengers on board and only 17 speak English and probably that many again are under 70 lol. That's ok we are here to relax and we have a lovely room and nice Austrian wine to drink. 
At our welcome drink this evening we had a beautiful sunset. We have tea at 7.30 at table 17. The odds of being able to speak their language is pretty slim.

Prague


I have a lovely few days in Prague. It has been cold but still no snow :(
The castle was beautiful. The streets are all cobbled. I had a fish pedicure where the fish eat the skin on your feet.

Cold wet Amsterdam

Not much happening in the rain, I went to Anne frank's house. Anne frank was a young jewish girl that with her family was hidden in the back of a house for 2 years during the war. She never got to go outside. They were eventually captured by the germans and she died.  They found her diaries she kept and published them.
There are lots of people in push bikes in amsterdam and I am scared one will tun me over.
