I was thinking about taking a Viking river cruise.

Until I learned that you can’t loot towns and monasteries along the way.


Good morning read this on twitter made me smile.

From St. Petersburg to Bucharest, then overland to take the Budapest to Amsterdam cruise. I enjoyed the civility...no kids, no gambling, no moronic stage shows.
I must confess, the idea of pillaging was very attractive when we went through the huge library at the Monastery of Melk, Austria!

... They don't raid monasteries but they do dine and dash. And you'd still have to paddle.
