Avalon Panaorama on the Danube
After lunch, we traveled by bus for an afternoon tour of the Benedictine Abbey in Melk and dinner on board.

On through several locks to Linz, the 3rd largest city in Austria - very industrial, a technology hub and a center of Arts!

Where Hitler announced the annexation of Austria in 1939

A short walk to the town square, a few nice buildings, Rathaus, and a balcony where Hitler announced the annexation of Austria.

A nice fall day in Linz

Regensburg and the Blue Danube! An 8:30 an start by bus from Lindau to Regensburg. About an hour an a half through Bavaria and nice hills and forests. Took the hour and a half walking tour to see the Stone bridge, Rathaus, ABC (another beautiful church!) and a delicious lunch of local Regensburger sausage, sauerkraut, buns, sweet mustard and an awesome beer!

We left in the morning on a small vehicle transfer to Nuremburg to pick up our rental card which turned out to be a standard Nissan X trail, a nice mid size car for all our driving! Nissan X trail

It has a nice cathedral, old 16th century buildings and great pølser hot dogs! After a stop in Ribe, we headed out to Tarm, also on Jutland to visit friends and overnight there. We had lots of cold wind and rain on our next day in Tarm, but enjoyed some good meals and wine.
