0:00.0	So I'm going to take a slightly different tack here.
0:01.5	I have gone back and forth with this in my own mind, like, would I do this kind of trip again?
0:18.1	Welcome back, everybody, to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast, brought to you by my
0:22.5	Path Unwinding Travel. And Sam, we're on a river. We are. We're on the Danube, to be exact.
0:28.8	And where are we docked? We are in Ein Hartzell, Austria. We were supposed to start our tour in
0:36.3	Vilchofen, Germany. But unfortunately, the Danube water levels
0:41.0	are actually just too high that that dock was not even visible. It was covered with water.
0:47.8	So we had to go to Einhardzl, Austria. And so we were transported over here via bus. We boarded the beautiful Amma Viola, which is a river cruise ship.

1:33.6	is the luxury end of touring with Disney. So they do land-based vacations. They do river cruise
1:41.1	vacations. They have the around the world trip with the private jet experience. So
1:45.4	the high end of Disney travel, I would say, this adventure that we're on is a river cruise for the
1:51.7	Christmas markets. As Sam said, it was supposed to leave out of Vilchof in Germany. But we had our
1:56.7	embarkation port moved on us. We weren't notified about that until after we arrived in Germany.
2:01.6	Actually, I think it was late on Thursday evening when we arrived that we got an email from Adventures
