We’re having a great time, despite the majority of people on the ship having come down with the lurgy. Thankfully it doesn’t appear to be COVID, according to the RAT results at least, however it’s still a rotten cold that has knocked a lot of people for six.

We’re headed to Salzburg, Austria today and we arrive in Passau, Germany tonight, where hopefully the Wi-Fi starts picking up again & normal services can be resumed. Best wishes to all those back at home, especially those in flood-affected areas. Thankfully everyone is safe & the house is still standing.
