DAY 12 – November 2, 2005 – Melk, Austria
Uniworld version – Cruise past Linz through the narrow Strudenbau and reach the Wachau Valley early this morning. A guided tour of Melk takes you to the magnificent Benedictine Abbey. The cruise continues through the romantic Wachau Valley, the most beautiful river region in Austria, dotted with castles, vineyards and little riverside towns. After dinner arrive in Vienna.
DAY 12 – November 2, 2005 - Benedictine Abbey, Melk, Austria
After dinner we go to the optional Strauss & Mozart Concert. The concert is very good. The musicians and actors are very enthusiastic and entertaining. Several busloads of tourists are crammed into the hall like sardines. We are required to take off our coats and check them. At the time of the break where we are to have champagne our Uniworld group get sent from pillar to post in pursuit of the right ticket number color to be served. What a total debauchery.
DAY 12 – November 2, 2005 – Melk , Austria
Population 7000. At the point where the Danube enters the celebrated wine producing region of the Wachau is the little town of Melk, dominated by the massive bulk of its Benedictine Abbey, one of the best known and most splendid monastic houses in Austria. The abbey is perched on a hill which slopes steeply down to the Danube and is accessible only from the East.
