Here is a round-up of some of the best memories from this fantastic vacation and links to photo albums.
Brian’s
Memories
Best Meal
Despite comments from my dining partners, my most memorable meal was
Seared Rabbit Kidneys. It wasn’t gamey as one would expect. It was one of the
few dishes with a bit of seasoning. It got a thumbs-up from the waiter.
Most Scenic
The Abbey in Melk Austria is breathtaking in
its beauty. Despite its small size, the beauty of the abbey matches St. Peters
in the Vatican. It was too bad that you can’t take pictures, but the gift shop
is a major source of income for the abbey.
Favorite Location
It would be a tie between the New Town in
Prague and the Old Town in Nuremberg. I loved both locations for the
same reasons. They had interesting architecture and an energetic vibe with
multiple restaurants, cafes, and bars.
Favorite Memory
Without a doubt it was the night-time cruise of
the Danube River in Budapest. Spectacular is an understatement.
Margaret’s
Memories
Best Meal
From the Imperial Next Door Café in Prague - Ham
& Cheese pate, followed by braised beef with cream sauce and cranberries,
then chocolate mousse cake for dessert.
A close second was the four-course meal with
wine tasting in the specialty restaurant on the Scenic Ruby.
Most Scenic
A tie between the train trip along the Elba
River from Prague to Berlin, or the night-time Danube River cruise in Budapest.
Favorite Location
The Old Town in Nuremberg. Margaret loved the
old buildings and the pedestrian friendly streets.
Favorite Memory
The night-time cruise of the Danube River.
Sitting out on the deck of the boat, watching all the incredible illuminated sites
of Budapest, especially Margaret’s Bridge, is a memory that will last a
lifetime.
