Wednesday. Krems and cruising Wachau va

We did a 3hr tour this morning of the Gottweib Abbey, near Krems. It is a Benedictine Abbey first constructed in about 1100 in wood. This burned down and the current structures are from 1700s. There are 42 monks who serve the local area. They produce several good wines which we tasted. All good! And apricot liquors and scnapps which we also got to try. We were back for lunch and now a cruise through the Wachau Valley for 3 hrs. Complete with wine and waltzes! Apple strudel later. The most scenic part of the Romantic Danube cruise.Read more
