If there was one past time in my life I enjoyed the most, it was definitely horse riding and one of the best forms of exercise you could dream of. We’ve been transferred into Vienna by coach and a quick walk around reveals how close the Spanish Riding School is within the city itself. Here’s one of the stallions and he’s obviously used to all of the attention. More of that later …

And, just like any blue movie, the fun continues onboard with our colleagues and a lot of laughs when the staff join in too. Miss the boat and the gang … Until next cruise!
