I woke up way before my alarm clock went off and lounged
around for most of the morning. Our excursion today wasn’t until early this
afternoon.
Passau is a medieval town and is known for its beautiful architecture. It's equipped with cobblestone roads
and everything! I grabbed a lot of
pictures. Our guide took us on a walking tour through the city and showed us
around for about an hour. We didn’t stop anywhere this time. After our guide finished
the tour, we had free time to shop before we had to head back to our ship. Not
a lot of the stores looked open but they were. We found a dollar tree type place
and ended up picking up a bunch of souvenirs so I headed back to the ship to drop
off the souvenirs and intended to head back out to explore some more but ended up staying on the ship for lunch.
We didn’t have anything planned after lunch so we had a few
hours of down time so I attempted to take a nap again and ended up puttering around
until dinner.
After dinner we went up to the lounge for a few festivities
before the new year countdown at midnight. We played name that tune and had a
few drinks. As a DJ you would think I would rock at that game but I didn’t do
so hot.
I needed to get some ideas organized for my blog so I took a
break from the festivities and went back to the room to get some thoughts down
and freshen up before I went back.
What a year this has been!
I can’t believe the year is over… I can’t believe this
decade is over! I’ve never celebrated a new year, let alone a new decade, so
far away from home on vacation before so this is super new and super exciting
to me. 2019 was a very interesting year. I’ve been on some of the most amazing
trips and of course met some awesome people. To me, it isn’t destination that
makes the trip but the people you meet, the people you travel with and the
things you get to lean and experience. Don’t get me wrong, going to world class
destinations is still absolutely incredible and I have so many more places that
I want to go. I already have future travel plans in the works!
Hope you guys had an amazing year! Here’s to a new year,
here’s to a new decade!
Happy new year everyone!!!
