One of the differences between the work week at home and on the road is that TGIF means something at home. Friday night there is usually a Firkin, or a movie, or dinner. Saturday and Sunday if not filled with activities are two days without work. Overseas, it's always work. Even on a day off it's used either as a travel day or an office day. There is not a lot to do in the places where I spend the most time. This is my first true weekend off in something like 8 weeks. Today will be a long one. There has been a lot of new work and unfinished work that poppped up this week. But at the end of the day that's it. Time to relax and have fun! What a great concept!
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
OK, I give up, what the hell is a firkin?
