Our day starts at 2am as we get up for our 3am car to the airport. We have uneventful flights to Denver, then San Francisco and to Pape’ete, Tahiti.

Yesterday we went to the Seaford area to see the Seven Sisters cliffs.

We see St. Augustine’s Abby, St. Martin’s church and the Roman Museum then head back to Brighton.

The Canterbury Cathedral, St.Augustine’s Abby, and St Martin’s church are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We took the train from Preston Park to Canterbury this morning. It was much cheaper to stay out of London, but it took four trains with three transfers to do it. It was actually 15 minutes faster even with all the transfers.

It was a very nice morning, I got up early and went for a run on the path around Lake Monona. I wasn’t sore from the 100k ride yesterday.

Got there a little later than we wanted, but still made my 7:30am start time. 63/64 degrees at start. I wore my arm warmers.

We met at the Trek headquarters in Waterloo, WI for breakfast in the cafeteria and then a short introduction to Trek Travel. There were about 60 people in the room, but only three couples had taken a Trek Travel trip. We took one in Provence, France in 2023.

We visit Vienna the next two days. We came two days early on our 2019 on a Vienna to Amsterdam river cruise, and have seen a number of the sights in Vienna. Today, October 26, is Austria National Day. The treaty was signed in May, but the last foreign soldier left on Oct 25.

The ship spent the night docked at Dürnstein. We sailed by, but did not stop at Dürnstein in 2019 on our Vienna to Amsterdam river cruise.

In the morning we visit Melk Abbey. We visited the abbey and sailed through the Wachau Valley in 2019 on a Vienna to Amsterdam river cruise.
