Thanks Sandra, we are are now in Munich airport having free beer and German sausage salad on Tui, so not all bad.

The first boat has evacuated group one, we are waiting for its return. It looks like Tui have charted a plane and we are all going home together, stopping at Manchester then continuing to London. Brian and Marilyn are on the first boat. It is going to e a long day but as long as we are all safe. It is getting quite hairy on the river, one of the emergency service guys said they are expecting at least another meter rise with the boat being stuck for at least five more days.

We have some action, it looks like they are looking at an option of getting us off?

Canapés and cocktails on deck this afternoon, the sun has popped its head out. Having a great time. We have been told that there is enough food and booze on board to see us through our Noah days.

Looks like we need a bigger boat.

We docked in Deggendorf this morning and walked into the town centre. It is a lovely quaint town with a nice square and lots of bars and cafes. We had our usual coffee and cake and enjoyed the ambience. We will now remain here for a couple of days and be taken by bus to Passau tomorrow and Ragensburg on Monday which we're our next two stops. We will then see what is next. Apart from the hitch with the water levels we are having a great time, we have spent time with Brian and Marilyn @brian1 setting the world right. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Dull and a little damp here, we are now in Germany. The river level is high and we have had to miss Passau as we needed to get under a low bridge. We have a new stop today and not sure what happens next as we cannot get under the next bridge.

Our grade cabin is still more than what we paid, you win some you lose some. We just got an email saying we were getting another $100 obc for the missed ports. All donations gratefully received.

We are on day four of our cruise, the weather has been great with wall to wall sunshine. We sat and chatted with @brian1 Brian and Marilyn last night. The food has been nice, not a big choice, certainly less than our last river cruise. No complaints from us. We are in Vienna today, our first time, beautiful place but too much to see in one day.

Where is everyone this morning? We are now at the airport after a quick check-in and security check. We weren't sure what to expect with it being a bank holiday. Costa for breakfast and now sat waiting for the gate to open.
