Wed 27 Aug- after breakfast buffet, we went on a walk into Melk, famous for its abbey. The town is a 15-minute walk down a tree-lined road, and the weather was a very pleasant 20-21 C with a nice gentle breeze. The town itself was very nice. There was a farmer's market on a pedestrian-only street where local merchants sold a variety of goods, such as cheese, meat, clothes, alcoholic beverages, vegetables, fruits, etc.
Back onboard, we had mixed green salad from the buffet for lunch. It's difficult to avoid over-eating, with the huge selection available at breakfast and lunch, and then the excellent dinner.
The ship set sail for the Wachau Valley, one of the prettiest sections of the Danube. We saw numerous small pretty towns, castles on the hills, lots of vineyards and occasionally, nude sunbathers.
After the port talk about tomorrow's destination, Vienna, we had another great dinner: choice of house wine, ham-wrapped cheese rolls with marinated asparagus, cream of roasted garlic soup, grilled mixed lamb platter (Stan) or breaded filet of Atlantic catfish with lemon and tartar sauce with potato, creamy spinach and salcify (Kiyomi), cheese cake with ice cream for dessert.
