We woke up in Mohacs, Hungary early this morning. Our Daily Cruiser advised us to be ready for a face-to-face passport inspection at 5:45 am to enter Schengen. We set an alarm that went off at 5 am. We were ready. We were the last group called at about 6:55 am. Breakfast started at 7 am. The tours all departed at 8:45 am.
We got pink tour tickets again for the gentle walking tour of Pecs. There hasn't been a lot of consistency with these "Gentle" tours. Some are well done and modified for an easy pace while others seem exactly the same as the regular tours. Today though was exceptional as it really minimized walking hills, steps and cobblestones by offering almost 45 minutes riding around old town on a small sightseeing train! This was never advertised, or even mentioned, before we arrived to meet the pink guide. Our pink groups have been small every time, diminishing in size it has seemed with difficulty and today it was only the 2 of us on a private tour! The guide was obviously disappointed as well as the train driver. AmaWaterways clearly needs to explicitly offer the sightseeing train to everyone. Pecs is a beautiful historic city and there is much to see. We had about 45 minutes of free time before the little train sped us past all the groups walking back uphill to return to the motorcoaches. One of Pecs' claims to fame is as the home of a ceramics factory that makes special color roofing tiles that you see throughout Europe on big important buildings.
We set sail after all aboard at 1 pm as lunch started. We should reach our final stop of Budapest about 4:15 am. It is a 124 mile sail. We've submitted our gratuities and approved our final bill. Tonight is dressy attire requested for the Captain's cocktail hour and dinner at 6:30 and 7:30 pm. We have to be out of our cabins by 9 am tomorrow. Sebastian arranged a taxi for us at 9:15 am to our last hotel of Central Basilica.
It has been a good trip.
