Boat Ride down the Donau (Danube)

One day we went "exploring' and ended up on a river cruise down the Donau to a monastary/brewery (weird!) We sat on the outside upper deck because it was a beautiful day. They served ice cream, pastries, and beer (of course) though they never seemed to get to us! When at the monastary we stayed on the river bank throwing rocks into the river and a stick for Murry when he decided to swim. We then took a motorized canoe around the cliffs to a hike/bike trail and walked back. We found a cliff cave to explore and saw some more beautiful river scenery. Herons

This is on a cliff face. The Germans put saints, religious statues, and Virgin Mary's everywhere.
