RIVER CRUISING
Imagine relaxing on a cushioned lounge chair on the top deck of what feels like your personal yacht. As you glide along the Danube River sipping a frothy cappuccino the tower of an eight hundred year old Castle peeks out from a bend up the River. The stone grey tower pitted against the morning blue sky and the misty green of the vineyards behind is mesmerizing. Grabbing your Nikon for an album worthy picture you move to the front rails for an unobstructed view of the entire river valley. There you spot two men on the river bank fishing. The one on the left waves hello while his friend is working hard at bringing his newly caught meal to the shore. After waving back and framing some pictures that hopefully will do the fishermen, landscape and castle justice your friend reminds you that the Lecture on the History and Future of the European Union is about to begin.
