Turn on your computer or tablet and you’re usually greeted with a picture of magnificent scenery. Well, I’m sailing inside one of those screen images.
Cue the Schlögener Donauschlinge – a remarkable S-shaped bend in the River Danube near Linz, Austria.
I’d woken up at dawn on the cruise ship TUI Skyla and peered out from my French balcony window, checking Google Maps to see where we were. Only approaching the Schlögener Donauschlinge (Loop of Schlögen)! The kind of natural wonder that’s used for screensavers and the delight of Instagrammers. I had expected to miss it in the small hours.
