Melk, Krems, and the Wachau Valley

 

The Abbey at Melk.

We started the day with a sort cruise to Melk. This town is the home of a sprawling Abbey, dating back to the 11th century. Besides it's extensive galleries and library, it also boasts a large garden area.

After touring the Abbey and it's gardens, we returned to the boat for lunch. I still had some energy after lunch so I convinced Shelly to go on a little hike though the nearby woods. After wandering around we eventually found our way back to the boat, just in time to sail on to Krems!

Spotted in the woods while hiking!

The way to Krems took us through the Dachau Valley, an area with lovely castles and churches and vineyards

In the Wachau Valley.

We arrived in Krems in the late afternoon. A nice little village, but we didn't really do anything noteworthy there!

Selfie in Krems!

Late that evening, the Lofn set off; the next stop is Vienna!
