| Melk, Austria viewed from Abbey |
We disembarked in Melk this morning for a guided tour of the historic Benedictine Abbey, considered one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Europe. We viewed the Abbot's chambers, the Kaiser's walk and the lavish library. Then, returned to the ship and continued cruising through the scenic Wachau Valley on the way to Vienna, the Imperial city legendary for its opulence and elegance. This evening we had the opportunity to attend an evening of Viennese culture in the "City of Music" at a concert performance, that included a violin concerto, and dances to the classical masterpieces of Mozart and Strauss, two of Vienna's most famous citizens. We stayed overnight aboard our boat in Vienna.
