This leg of the trip seriously qualifies for its own post. Because we're such exciting travellers and occasionally stick our middle fingers up at boring modes of travel such as trains, we booked a Catamaran speedboat kind of thing straight down the Danube between Bratislava and Vienna. It was only an hour and a half but my god it was one of the highlights.
You'll be able to see the exact departure point in some of the Bratislava photos. This is a bridge with a restaurant shaped like a UFO on it.

This is my "who farted on the Danube catamaran?" face. Note Tom and Pips doing Titanic in the background.
The majority of the trip revolved around, but wasn't limited to:
- Dancing to every song that came into our heads while standing on the top deck
- Sticking our heads over the side of the boat to take windswept pictures
- Throwing random bits and pieces into the jet spray to watch it get blasted back by the water
- Recreating the infamous "bus wankers!" scene from The Inbetweeners but substituting the word bus for 'boat', 'jetty' and anything else relevant to each victim, and getting happy smiling waves in return.
Saluting the drivers of all other boats on the Danube (not that kind of salute)
- Recreating scenes from the Titanic while at the front of the boat
- Holding coats over our heads and jumping to test how powerful the wind was
- And the now compulsory jumping shot that takes 300 takes to get right.
And this is us sober.
Rowdy Brits abroad aside, we did get some pretty sweet views of more rural bits of Austria.
Boat excitement a little too much for some
And after a pretty sweet hour and a half, we pulled into Vienna.
Well played guys.
