This trip starts out in Budapest and we’ll be making our way
to Nuremberg.
Today was the longest travel day ever! It wasn’t because a
lot of super exciting things happened but because Europe is legitimately really
far away. We started out at Sacramento International Airport and had a short
trip out to Salt Lake City. From there we flew over the pond to Paris and finally,
Budapest. Our transfers went smooth, the food was eh and none of our luggage got
lost so there isn’t a lot to report about that part of the trip. I did end up
spilling some of the chicken marsala that I ordered on my shirt and the stain
stayed with me all day. I also noticed a lot more dogs were traveling with us
than usual. No complaints there! While we were at the different airports, we
did some shopping and purchased currency before we headed out to our ship.
After an hour bus ride, we finally made it to our ship. We
checked in, grabbed some tea and explored a little before we went dinner.
Normally everyone arrives at the boat at the same time but I noticed that this
time some people got here early in the afternoon and there were still passengers
trickling in after dinner.
After dinner there was a performance by a local acapella
group, The Windsingers. They performed a couple of traditional Hungarian Christmas
songs, a few original songs and some American pop Christmas songs. They were
pretty good!
After the mini concert I headed back to my cabin and
unpacked because I was too lazy to unpack when we got here, then went straight to
bed. Note to self, always unpack the first chance you get!
Today wasn't actually a particularly long travel day-- it
just felt like it because I didn’t get a lot of sleep on the way here.
Tomorrow the real adventure starts!
