Following that we had an entertaining session on Coffeehouse Culture and a demonstration of apple-strudel making. Looks pretty easy; maybe we should try it.
After lunch we walked through the town of Melk to the Benedictine Abby, shopping a bit along the way. We had visited the Abby in 2002, but much has been added since then, and the Church itself is still extremely impressive. [ Anne, we looked at the cherubs - were you in the organ loft, or one of the 6 or so niches up along each side?].
Once back on board, we started our celebration of Sally Joe's birthday with a round of 'Ladies' Dreams' or what we used to call Harvey Wallbangers in the bar.
Then, after our daily briefing, we continued it and our celebration of John and Sue's 38th anniversary with champaign, speeches, laughter, tears, stories and finally cake.
We had to dash to hear the last half of Marek's story of Mozart ( the true story ) and by then we were ready to witness the ship's entry into the next lock and go to bed.
