Danube odds of going as planned climb to 35 percent

The Danube's chance of going as planned this week came up to 35 percent, from 8 percent yesterday. Budapest is still at low water, and flow slipped again to 1,046. Rhine water levels at Lobith are low too, though the week improved to 9 percent as planned and November as a whole sits at 43 percent. At these levels a river cruise usually loads lighter, or swaps you to a sister ship past the shallow stretch with a coach in between.
