I've made it to Ireland, had a Guiness, walked the city and now after nearly 48 hours, I'm ready to sleep. I have some pictures but I have to find a wireless spot to post them from. Dublin is not as green as what I pictured in my mind. It's sort of just an ordinary city with a lot of pubs. (Nothing wrong with that!) Tomorrow it may look better after a good night's sleep!
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.
Dublin was a fun city, but not much
ReplyDeletegreen. You have to get out of the city to see what gives the Emerald Isle its name. But no, you had to leave Sharon and I to fend for ourselves on the left side of the road! A truly terrifying experience...
