Today was a morning walking tour in Linz. It involved a four car mini train that drove through the city streets while the guide talked about the city. Once in the city center we did some walking in the surrounding streets. Following the guided tour, the four of us stopped at a cafe. Jahn and Sherry had tea, and Bill and I had cappacino. After that break, we went back to the boat for lunch. Sherry and Bill went back in to town after lunch and Jahn and I spen...

Up at 6:00 and enjoyed our first breakfast on the boat. I enjoyed an cheese omelette and bacon. After breakfast we, along with Sherry and Bill did a walking tour of Passau.

After the concert we headed back to the boat for lunch. After lunch we had a safety drill. N...

Up at 6:00 and a nice breakfast in the hotel. After, we ran out so that Jahn could pick up dirndls for Anna and the twins.

The Drive to Passau took about two hours and We talked with Pavel the whole time. It...

We got up at six and had breakfast just down the street at a place recommended by the hotel. At nine, our guide Teresa arrived at our hotel to give us a walking tour of the town and then take us to the castle. Her English was very good and she gave an excellent tour of the town. Once we got to the castle, she passed us off to the guides there. We started with what is one of the most fascinating things of any of our travel, at least to me. The castle has a Ba...
