Day 17 Melk - Passau

---

Woke today to most glorious sunrise.
Sleep in then breakfast as mostly a cruising day on the Danube. Soon dropped of others doing the day trips which left just some on board to ourselves, much quieter on board now.
Sat in our room watching the views go by, mostly forests down to the river, trees just starting to turn colour for Autumn.
Moved to the sundeck after a strudel making exhibition by the chef.
Just perfect on the sundeck watching the views. Lovely sunny day with little breeze.
Lunch then arrived Passau. What an entrance to a most beautiful town with cathedrals and churches in amongst the cobbled streets and squares.
Walked on our through the streets to St Stephen's cathedral, very baroque interior, very beautiful and interesting.
Back on board for dinner.
