Mosquitoes?

[LiseD]

Was just reading in a river cruise book about how bad the mosquitoes are in the afternoon on the Danube. Said you can't keep your windows/doors open then. Anyone had this issue? Is this just certain times of the year? This is not a big deal for me...we live in the woods in the mountains! ha ha Just wondering.....

Doesn't hurt to take repellant. We did the Budapest to Amsterdam in early August a few years ago and never noticed a bug. But every year is different. Maybe someone who knows current conditions will reply.

Bugs were not a problem on our Danube cruise the beginning of last November.

We could not open our French balcony on the Danube July 2013. Lots of mosquitoes and small flying insects because of record floods on June. You never know and just have to be prepared. This was especially true at night because the insects were attracted to the lights on the cabin.

We did Budapest to Amsterdam in August 2012 and we had no problems at all with insects.

We kept our French Balcony doors closed at night due to lighting but had no problems during the day on our Budapest to Amsterdam Avalon trip last month. They did warn us one evening (I forget where) to be extra diligent.
