Cruising with Jane McDonald
The Balkans
Season 6 Episode 3 of 6
Starting in Budapest, Jane boards a steam train built at the peak of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for the exclusive use of the emperor and empress. It is not long before she is back on water though, boarding a luxury river ship to sail to the blossoming post-communist cities of Bratislava and Belgrade. From there, Jane heads towards one of the natural highlights of the Danube, the Iron Gates. After coming face to face with folkloric monsters and sampling the local moonshine, she finishes her journey in Romania's most popular destination, Bran Castle, the assumed home of Dracula
Cruising with Jane McDonald airs on Channel 5 +1 at 11:35 AM, Saturday 11 January. (Subtitles, repeat.)
