    The cruise director, Radu, took a group of us in a walking tour of Linz at 5:15. It turned out to be a very nice, contemporary town with charm and three cathedrals...two were open for evening rosary, so we unexpectedly got in. As with other churches, the interiors are beautifully decorated, one in rococo, the other Gothic. Mist importantly, it is the home of the Linzer Torte!!! But all the stores were closed, so no temptation to buy.

    We returned to the ship to have drinks with Ken and JoAnn, from New Jersey. Then we sat with Dale and Lon, from Coral Gables. We were all delighted to discover the Vanderbilt connection... Lon, a Urologist, his father and his son went to ,Vandy Med school. We talked well into the evening, continuing in the lounge for a mean game of Trivia. I as attribute my good sleeps to Calvados nightcaps!
