Time for Berlin and Prague


Well it's time for the next adventure. In a very short while I will be off to Berlin. After a two day pre-trip in  Berlin, I will be joining the Viking Elegant Elbe cruise on the Viking Beyla to sail down the elbe river ending up in Prague.

This trip was initiated by a couple friends in Denver and our merry little cruise family of five will be spending two days in Berlin then 10 days on the river floating through Germany and the Czech Republic and then up with a day and night in Prague.

For those that have never been on a river cruise the ship ports daily, typically right on the banks of the cities. Tours have been arranged for nearly all of the cities , and after the tour you are free to remain on the ship or walk back in on your own for shopping.

Up until this week it was doubtful whether we would be sailing down the river or just using the ship as a hotel since the water levels have been extremely low this year. Thankfully last week they started to get rain in Germany and the river is now navigable once again so the cruise should proceed as normal.
