Following two days of heavy, heavy rain in the Alps, the Danube is in full spate. We’re going to have to wait this one out for a while…

We’ll need a taste of home on the mighty Danube and, thanks to Stoats (http://www.stoatsporridgebars.co.uk/) we’ll have just that. They’re providing fantastic support by feeding us our breakfast in the form of stoats porridge bars!

And, after spending the night aboard, we’ve now got a much better idea of […]
