Vienna
We had a brief tour of Vienna this morning, with the rest of the day free to wander at our leisure. There is so much impressive architecture in Vienna that I’m not even going to try to cover it. Instead, … Continue reading
A Rainy Day in Melk
We woke up this morning to find that it was going to be rainy (97% chance of precipitation) and cold (3 degrees Celsius). We had been booked to take the Durnstein walking tour, but decided we weren’t all that interested … Continue reading
Passau
Today we decided to take the Passau Castle hike which involved hiking through the old town, then up the side of the hill to the castle, which dates back to at least 1499. This picture gives you an idea of … Continue reading

Good Friday
It was Good Friday, and all the stores and museums in Nuremberg were closed today. So we walked around the walls of the old city, which are mostly still intact. We started by going just inside the walls and enjoying … Continue reading
Nuremberg
We spent the day wandering around Nuremberg with no particular objective, other than enjoying the ambience of a medieval European city, the lovely spring weather, and the contrast of old and new. I also like the combination of city and … Continue reading
