It turns out what I thought was a rainstorm was much worse. Since we didn't know better, we thought the street flooding and the runoff plus the waterfalls were normal. The local paper ran a story about how bad this last storm was and schools had to close early. Now this being Samoa, many of the schools are not inside but outside buildings that resemble a family picnic structure more than a school. Today the mosquitoes were out in full force and additional geckos are stalking my room. One is enough unless they are going to get busy eating bugs.
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.
