Today we took a bus tour from Vienna to Melk Abbey which included a 1.5 hr boat ride on the Danube. Everything lush and green. Unfortunately it was pouring rain, so we only had our guides word that there were castles on the hill top. The abbey (from the 800's – yes that's correct) is still functioning and also serves as the local junior and senior high school for the children in the village, being taught by the abbey monks. When we arrived back in Vienna, we were lucky to scalp a couple tickets to the opera – Tosca.
