Melk Abbey

Up and out to the train station for our trip to Melk. Had to kill a couple hours before checking into our new place for 2 nights and found this MARVELOUS restaurant (due Post) with yummy Austrian food (don't ask what...I'm not that much of a foodies...beef, potatoes, some other stuff; then apple strudel and a curd pudding with vanilla sauce); worthy of food pics.

Absolutely adorable town and bet this place is swamped in the Summer. 😬 Checked into our 16th century lodgings (can't tell from refurbishment) and then up...up to Melk Abbey, fortification built in 11th century then later given as a Benedictine monastery since then. Love all this old stuff they still use!Read more
