In Passau, the end of the Danube cruise.
We had a luxurious later start this morning and a really interesting walking tour of the town. Since our tour guide has a PhD in Fine Arts, we got an authoritative story on the decoration of the many buildings we saw.
In the late morning we headed to the huge beautiful cathedral (another St. Steven's)for an organ concert. Since this is the largest church organ in the world, it was quite amazing! The 30 minute concert showed the full range of possibilities.
We wandered back to the ship for lunch, after which I left Larry aboard and walked back into Passau with Mary, Maria Angelica and Lizzie.
Now it's time to pack up and get ready for the next adventure. [ our pickup is at 7:30 for our transfer to Munich Airport where we will pick up our car. ]
The Captain's Farewell Dinner was lively and fun. We sung "Go Down In Peace" afterward, then went down to the lounge for a viewing of the official ship photo collection and the raffle draw. I'd had my eyes on an orange pashmira all week and couldn't believe it when I won it.
