First Sailing Day

This morning, it's cool and fresh on the upper deck as we head to Bratislava. The banks of the river have been covered in trees since we left Budapest and it's easy to see the flood level in them.

Approaching the dam and lock

Through the lock, into the lake.

So far, this has been well worth all the anxiety and we're very glad to be here.

We've been through our first lock, part of a dam.  Apparently, there are 66 more to go.  We are on a huge lake behind the lock and dam.  Lots of flat pasture and crop land around.  Honestly, not as nice as this morning.
