Well the internet and I are not friends today. After waiting 15 minutes for 3 pictures to load, the server timed me out and I lost the pictures. So today there will be no pictures. I think I will wait until I get to an airport on Saturday to upload any more pictures.
Yesterday was a slow day - thank goodness! I needed a rest - the back and the sciatic nerve aren't cooperating this week. Linda and I skipped Melk and the 900 year old abbey and just chilled for a few hours. Then we headed out after lunch to Durnstein, another small village further down the river. Tessa, one of the program guides, took us on a leisurely waking tour. This village is located in the picturesque Wachau Valley, Beautiful scenery as we were cruising along the river.
This morning we headed off in 4 buses for Vienna, the capital of Austria. This is a large city much like Rome and London. We took a ride along the Ringstrasse, which replaced the city walls in the mid-19th century. We saw much of the city's baroque architecture, including the world-famous Opera House, St. Stephan's Cathedral and Hofburg Palace. Very interesting city - lots of history here.
Well now it is 5:25 pm here and time to get ready to EAT again...... We had a very interesting happening today also. The Viking Legend (another ship) pulled right up beside us at the dock and completed blocked our view. We thought that was quite rude!
