Leaving West Virginia, we were in the midst of a hot spell with temperatures in the mid nineties. As we prepared to navigate the Danube, the weather began to turn much cooler. So much so, we needed to bundle up for warmth. I was amused at the selection of fleece jackets available in the ships store the next morning. It was a welcome change.
The highlight of the city of Melk is the enormous Abbey overlooking the river. (not the above picture) Although very few monks live here now, it’s an active school for about 900 students. It’s also the depository for thousands of very old books. Some of them are hand written and priceless.
