We docked at Hofkirchen, not a planned stop but upriver from Passau. This was so the ship could get through the critical low water section quicker. We took buses back to Passau for the regular planned tours for the day while the ship went on ahead. Since the tour today was all walking Muriel stayed on board the ship. I joined up with our friends from Pittsburgh, Jack and Suzanne, so I would have company during the tour and four hours of free time we had in the ...

... Gewicht über 50 Pfund zu zahlen wären. Unser Koffer hatte 65 Pfund! Wir durften noch umpacken. Der Koffer mit den Souveniers und Schuhen hatten nämlich witzigerweise nur 33 Pfund. Ja, ich konnte es auch kaum glauben.

Wir haben dann also neben den Menschenmassen, die einchecken wollten angefangen, das Gepäck umzuräumen. Im Endeffekt musste ich mich doch noch auf einen Koffer drauf setzten, damit wir ihn zumachen konnten. Die nette Dame hat dann nicht mhr ...

... are so lucky to see all these beautiful things.  At 9.30 we went on a walking tour around Passau and of course the church.  St. Stevens it is an awesome church but to be quite honest I am a little over churches.  However really enjoyed the town and our guide was great with a very good sense of humour.  At 11.30 we went back to the church and listened to an organ recital from 12 to 12.30.  The pipe organ is the biggest Cathedral organ in the world and it ...

A noticeably warmer night which I overdressed for. No need for the sleeping bag hood although the ground is remarkably hard. Like there's solid stone underneath; its a strange site being just a grassy patch in front of the bar. The end of the patch is where the fields start and on the other side of the plain a range of the hills to the skyline. As it was an early night I was in bed about 9 so woke about 3am and didn't sleep properly again. Its a hazard of living by daylight. Lots of ...

Arrived by Train from Vienna, and picked up the bikes at Train station.Everyone lost quickly, bikes needed adjustmentment (Sue thought she had no brakes) so bike was changes. Visited Dom (Cathederal) and then drinks and dinner at nearby Pub (Gasthoff ...

13th June Linz/Salzburg/Passau Gary was not keen on the Sound of Music Tour to Salzburg, so I hopped off the ship in Linz with the girls. The boat cruised onto to Passau where later I rejoined it. My tour took me through the Lakes District, stopping at Lake Monsdee to see the church where the wedding scene from the film was made. I wandered down the aisle humming "How ...

Best bit: having a long chat Worst bit: no breakfast Distance: 140km I feel a little less of oddity today, having met someone doing an even sillier (or more corageous) trip. Cycling along about lunchtime I came accros a French chap called Olivier on one of those "sit down" bikes. He works for a French supermarket chain (who are sponsoring him) and was happily making his way to China via Russia. I couldnt quite get my head ...

My father came over to visit me and go on a weeklong bike trip which followed the Danube River all the way from Passau, Germany to Vienna, Austria. The bike trip was such a great idea because it allowed you to really see the country side, interact with the locals and get a good exercise in everyday. Passua, Germany was a great place to start the journey because of it old ...

... another night in the snow. Not just yet but thanks. What else? Youth hostel 6km away. Hmm, anything closer? Hotel just round the corner. So, our intrepid explorer bottles it and checks in to a private warm bed. Oh, and breakfasts included. Well, I'm no hero and I can live with myself. It's about the little treats and a warm **** in bed. My own naturally.
