Welcome to Austria

All of the stops in Austria were made from the river cruise with our friends Dick and Joyce from Florida.  It is an incredibly beautiful country, like all the Alpine countries.  I would go back to any of the stops just to soak up more of the local color, especially Vienna.

I also took some pictures and video as we cruised up the Danube so you can get a feel for the river and the views from the boat.
