Passau, Germany


Sadly, our time on the Danube is coming to an end.  Last night we had a five course farewell dinner.  It is normal to send an hour and a half to two hours eating dinner.  After dinner we joined some of shipmates for entertainment and dancing in the lounge.  

Today was another travel day.  It was cool and rained early on but it was a good morning to be on the ship and a good time to be outside as we went through the lock.

 In the afternoon we took a walking tour of Passau and you know what?   It has a Cathedral!  It’s very beautiful and is named St Stephen. 


Our visit into Passau ended successfully as we were victorious in finding some Lebkuchen (gingerbread) for Curt.  


Our success continued after our four course dinner when we went to the lounge just in time to play a trivia contest based on knowledge of 26 countries starting with the letters A-Z.  With the help of two other cruise passengers, we won the contest, a bottle of champagne and some Avalon hats!
