Passau, Germany, city of three rivers.
Passau lies at the confluence of the Inn, Danube, and Ilz rivers and the city is on a peninsula jutting out into the rivers. Last major city on the Danube bordering Austria. Important medieval center for the salt trade (soldiers were paid in salt, hence the term salary came from). We toured the old town area which has pretty much the same buildings as the previous medieval towns--town hall, small cobble stoned alleyways, ...
And on the 6th day we rested
Quiet day today, as we decided to stay on board not do the 2 optional day tours. Two thirds of the passengers left at Linz on coaches to either Salzburg or Cesky Krumlov and will meet us in Passau. We have enjoyed a late breakfast and the optional world championship Bingo game. Came away with a free drink from the bar. Weather wasn't so kind this morning, so mostly stayed inside except for Peter's little excursions to the Wheelhouse to get the best view ...

Austria, Czech Republic and Germany in One day
At midnight we set sail for the little town of Durnstein which we had the opportunity to explore early the next morning. A quaint little Austrian village on the Danube which is built around the church and whose main source of income would be tourism and the fruit products they produce such as the apricot liquors. By midmorning we were on our way to the city of Melk. This meant sailing through the beautiful Wachu Valley. ...
