Wachau, day trip in Austria































Last day in Vienna and booked a trip out to the Wachau region. About 80 km north, along the Danube River and known for great scenery. Went through Durstein and Krems, then got on a river boat at Spitz. North to Melk then tour of the Benedictine abbey. Massive place. Got lots of sun on my face, but awfully cold. I was lucky to borrow a sweater from a colleague yesterday, and went out to buy a scarf last night. Totally failed to plan for the weather when I packed!

Schnitzel and yet more schnitzel









These are for Darrell.... As promised, I took pictures of two Vienna dinners just for you! Schnitzel the size of small children, all washed down with great local beer. I did have other dinners, but only took pics of the schnitzel. Did lots and lots of walking to help burn this off, sort of.
