The ship left Linz around 4am and arrived at today's destination - Grein - somewhere around 8.30.
There was a walking tour in the morning to keep us all active and happy, but in a town of 3000 people on Boxing Day with everything closed there is not a lot to see. (Oh there was an historical sketch for an hour before the walk, but decided we'd rather read, so missed out on that).
The town's main claim to fame is an ancient theatre so the history of that was milked for all it was worth and there was also the obligatory visit to the local church. Then back for lunch and now the majority of people have gone off on this afternoon's excursion to some castle for cocktails with Princess someone, a member of the Hapsburg dynasty.
We decided that that really wasn't our thing either so are sitting enjoying the peace and quiet in the ship's library with views all round down the Danube.
I think we made the right decision and it's nice not to be doing anything after yesterday's marathon 10 hour excursion.
(The photos are actually yesterday's ones).
