【Aiden in English】 The final day of the vacation is always a sad one. But a well-said phrase from our program director of the Viking Kvasir states otherwise. "Don't feel so sad that the journey is over, be happy it happened." I'm certainly happy this Rhine Getaway took place, and although I missed out on many opportunities to drink alcohol, I have no regrets. However, the f |

【Morning Bell】 Carl Spitteler (1845—1924) 〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1919〗 It seemed as though the dawn would never come To save me from the night's delirium, Those hells of thought I wandered in - who schooled My brain at other times, and strictly ruled It's every motion. Fever now was king; My spirit groped, a shudder |

The words are all written in the same ink, ‘flower’ and ‘fear’ |

【Aiden in English】 Finally, off the ship in Basel of Switzerland, I forgot the feeling of the smooth glide of the boat. Replaced by a bumpy, unpleasant bus ride to our next destination of Lucerne, I immediately missed the blissful form of travel provided on the Viking Kvasir. However, the transfer off the boat was slightly buffered through a long bus ride in which I took a good nap. I didn't miss the important section on the trip though. A trip to where |

【Aiden in English】 Another perplexing Alsatian town. Difficult to pinpoint what culture it belongs to.

【Aiden in English】 I guess it isn't possible to go through Europe without seeing castles. Like I've said before, castles are a message of power and wealth. Therefore, anyone with power and wealth had a castle. Marksburg Castle constructed in 1117, was originally a fortress for protection instead of a royal residence. However, going through many years of war, Marksburg had established many defenses, allowing it to escape damage an |

【Aiden in English】 On the previous Danube Viking Cruise, Mom and I visited many castles and palaces from the Romanesque to Gothic styles. Every other day or so, a new king or rich family would be brought up during the tour, each with another empire and each with a pool of wealth. Usually, they built castles, and most of these aristocrats were German. That is why Germany's countryside is commonly known as a fairy tale. It should more |

He envied God and man the more when Gabriel, God's H |

With my own retinue of faithful troops, And with these many thousands on my side, thus to fall brings honor and shall shed. Nor hardship dire, Nor yet disaster nor anathemas. Shall I intimidate, or tame. Here is my Fatherland. Let all yield, Who will, not one foot shall I ever retreat.

I personally don't really care all that much about amazing, out-of-the-park food or services. What I want a cruise line to excel at is their shore excursions, especially during major ports. Such ports as the capital of Hungary, Budapest.   |

【Birth】 Georg Trakl (1887—1914) These mountains: blackness, silence, and snow. The red hunter climbs down from the forest; Oh the mossy gaze of the wild thing.

【Aiden in English】 The capital city of Vienna is probably the most famous place on our itinerary of Danube Castles and Legends. I've heard about it, you've known about it, mom has seen it, celebrities want to live here, etc. However, Vienna's fame was built on musical notes, performances, and composers. A long history of music in this part of the world has inspired popular worldwide concerts that pretty much have come to defi |

【Aiden in English】 Viking River Cruises are quite the adult ones. They mainly have formal meals, bars for recreation, libraries, and lounges, which is very different from an ocean ship targeting a younger age group. Therefore, this trip could not be complete without a large portion of alcohol. You know what? Wine isn't anything special. To put it simply, wine is crushed grape juice with |

【Grodek】 Georg Trakl (1887—1914) In the evening the autumnal forests resound With deadly weapons, the golden plains And blue lakes, above them the sun Rolls more darkly by; night enfolds The dying warriors, the wild lament Of their broken mouths. But in the grassy vale, the spilled blo |

【A Song at the End】 Jaroslav Seifert (1901-1986) 〖Nobel Prize in Literature for Violet Poetry in 1984〗 Listen: about little Hendele. She came back to me yesterday and she was twenty-four already. And as graceful as Shulamite.

Its numbers run along the same lines as Austria regarding population and area, but everything else couldn't be more drastic. The people, the culture, and the religion all have their differences, and today's trip to Česky Krumlov, a small medi |
