28 Dec: Linz Day 3 (substitution for a full day to Budapest)

Another lazy morning after a late night in the bar.

Had breakfast in the Bistro. Nice set-up and is the same daily.

Got to make my own toast!



At lunch we had the palette-blowing dish of the cruise - fusilli pasta with caviar, in a white wine and vodka sauce. Truly inspired and absolutely delicious



Most of the guests had taken one of the three new excursions organised at short notice today.
We just decided to enjoy the boat. Was considering a walk but it was raining and very windy. Crystal Golf umbrellas were blowing all over the place.

After lunch, we got given a choice of two excursions for our new stop at Krems tomorrow. Wine tasting a drive to see a castle of Richard the Lionhearted. No consideration was needed! More tomorrow.

A really poor turn out for trivia - 4 people so two teams of two.

Head off to the steam room and jacuzzi at tea time and it was empty as usual.

Evening cocktails at the Palm Court with Neal singing away before heading in to dinner. This is getting to be a bit of routine now!

After dinner, the band played dance music. Neal finished the night off but we headed off to bed early-isa. Exhausted from doing nothing.

All evening, everyone was speaking about Anthony, the Crystal staff member who followed one of the tours to visit the Alps reason.
Someone tripped and their walk stick fell into the river. Anthony took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers and went into the freezing river waters to retrieve the walking stick. Hero of the day!
