Arriving early into Melk, we left for our tour of the Melk Benedictine Abbey. The Abbey is a massive structure, built between 1702 and 1736; it is now home to a school for about 900 students.
The church is stunning; "over-the-top" is how it was described!
After visiting the Abbey and the small town of Melk, we sailed thru the Wachau Valley, rich with vineyards & castles, to Durnstein, said to be the Wachau's most picturesque town.
Tod & I went on a bike ride, with fellow passengers, Ken & Robin. We rode thru a few small & lovely "wine" towns, made a few wrong turns, but ended back; and, in time to stroll thru the winding streets and have a glass of wine/beer overlooking the Danube.
