Life's a Stitch

After hotel room breakfast, including the famous tea kettle eggs, the five of us spent the day touring Passau, first walking to the old town. Emma was excited to shop for ice cream and souvenirs. That girl moves quickly, but she was quite visable wearing her red Canada jersey that we brought her from home.

After touring the St. Stephen's Cathedral again, we found it was well worth a second look.

We took a Danube sightseeing cruise followed by lunch in a genuine Bavarian beer garden – Das Wirtshaus und Biergarten, if you make it to Passau, you must eat here.

I had a huge haxen (smoked and fried pork hock), with Reibeknödel (delicious potato dumpling), sauerkraut, and beer sauce, plenty for everyone to try. Looking back, it was the best meal of our Passau to Vienna trip.

Tired from a long day, we bussed back to the hotel, and had a light snack for dinner in their family sized room, followed by several rounds of Left, Center, Right. Tomorrow begins the great bike adventure, Passau to Vienna, for eight days.
