Cheers from Outback! A well deserved beer after two papers and a boring (Speed Racer) movie.
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.
Go Speed Racer, Go! It was sad that Chim Chim was the most interesting and funniest character in the movie.
ReplyDeleteHomer took the opening line of my comment right out of my mouth! I haven't seen the movie (and don't intend to now), but I sure remember enjoying it as a kid back in the 60's. Speed Racer and Kimba--both Japanese and so different from our American cartoons. As for movies, I can recommend Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. was fabulous!

I remember memorizing what each button on the steering wheel of the Mach 5 did. The movie needed more use of the saws! However, I wouldn't tell Speed Racer fans not too see this movie, just not to expect a childhood experience. Iron Man is getting the better reviews. I guess I need to work it into my schedule, or wait 'till it is on HBO.
