This was our second trip with boat bike…

This was our second trip with boat bike tours. We didn’t realize that they were an acting travel agent until we were ready to go. Our trip along the Danube was cancelled last minute due to the ship Arlene II running aground. We found out hours before we were to leave for the airport. It was a bit of scrambling, but they offered us a hotel/bike tour instead. It was ok, but quite disorganized at first. We felt a little abandoned. It ended up being ok and we had a lot of fun, but it was a pain to pack up our bags each morning. We were living out of our suitcase the whole time. Also, most of the hotels did not have air conditioning and we hit a heat wave at the end of August so it made it hard to sleep. Another big disappointment was that the tour (originally Passau to Budapest) only went to Vienna. The main reason we booked it was to go to Budapest. After such a great experience last year (best of Holland) it wasn’t as good, but we made the best of it and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the Danube.
