Amsterdam to Bucharest & Transylvania

We explored Amsterdam’s streets, shopping districts and cruised in it's interior canals. We visited the oldest windmill in Kinderdijk the magnificent Cologne Cathedral, castles along the middle Rhine both in ruins and those converted to hotels, toured Miltenberg, Wurzberg and Bamberg, before continuing down the Rhine to Regensberg and Passau. We toured the war time underground art storage facilities in Nuremberg and continued our journey to Melk, Krems and Vienna, Austria before scenic cruising through the Wachau Valley. From there we continued on to Budapest, Hungary where we changed ships to venture further into Eastern Europe. We stopped in Kalocsa, Hungary before continuing to Osijek, Croatia and then Belgrade, Serbia. Continuing East we passed the Iron Gates and cruised magnificent gorges on the way to Vidin and Russe, Bulgaria. Continuing, we went to Bucharest and Brassov, Romania and then to Transylvania to enter the legendary home of Count Dracula, Bran Castle. We enjoyed a lifetime’s worth of experiences on a single four week voyage, June of 2019. Hope you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed being there and taking them.
