Monday, Nov 5th. Poor connectivity today. Short entry.
Melk Abbey ornate. Massive library. Attached village small.
Wachau Valley viewing was in intense cold wind and thin fog. Good scenery, but not great. Awful for photos. Vineyards go across the hills on terraces, 90 degress different than German vineyards (top to bottom). “Traditional.”
Winery tour was outstanding. Included a 3D movie with aromatics! Best presentation I’ve ever seen. Good wine tasting.
Melk Abbey. No photos inside. A shame. Closeup of artwork in Abbey courtyard. Modern? Inevitable. A walk in the woods. Peaceful. A ruin. A nose. Across the river? An eye. Another ruin. The lighted floor map in the Winery to show where they grow grapes. Beautiful.
