A day of sailing

Well I tried again to upload pictures but it didn't work.  Maybe it is because we are moving but 'so it goes' I will just have to accept the poor Internet connection.
Today we are sailing up the Danube past the Iron Gate locks. It is a beautiful day and the scenery is very nice.  Tomorrow we will be in Belgrade for the day.  Bud has decided to go with a group in the afternoon and do a bicycle tour of the city.  We will do a bus city tour in the morning together.  I will go on  an excursion in the afternoon to an artist community and on to a craft shop where violins are made.  I am NOT planning to bring home a violin but who knows what I will find in the artist community.
This area has been in the news here because of the unusual rains and flooding.  I don't know if that news has reached the states.  Our boat is fine and we are promised to be able to dock in Belgrade tomorrow.
We are really enjoying this trip.  The history is fascinating and we have met some interesting people.  Today is really our first day of relaxing so we are enjoying the 'down time' by reading and sitting in the fresh air.  All and all we are happy with the cruise line and the activity level.
T-t-that's  all for now.  will keep you posted.
