Saturday and our last day to ride: We woke to pouring rain with a 99% chance for its continuation throughout the day, along with very cold temperatures. Hal has a cold and swollen legs, so we decided to stay on board--as did the vast majority of other bike riders. Poor guys on the ship had to reload almost all the bicycles.
It's a shame because, as the cruise director told us, this was the prettiest part of the trip, through the Wachau Valley with options for wine and schnapps tasting and beautiful towns along the way. So our last day will be spent on board reading and resting and trying to get everything repacked in our suitcases as we have an early departure. We leave in half an hour from our present dock in Rossatz
and continue cruising upriver
to Melk
where we will probably brave the rain to walk through town and up the hill to an abbey.
Maybe I will get some pictures there as we can't see much of anything due to the rain right now. Photos above of the view over Meld from the abbey, the local abbey kitty, and the abbey from down in the town.
We have to be out of our cabins by 8:30 am tomorrow --including a picture of our home for the last week here--
and will catch a 2:30 train back to Munich, spend the night at the airport Sheraton and fly to London on Monday morning.
