From Linz to Salzburg then to Passau

Today will be our last day in Austria then we push deeper into Central Europe ,but first we make a visit to Salzburg . We take this trip on the very historical train called the Majestic Imperator, with a tiring day behind us and the bikes erased from our minds we settle in for the 2 hr journey south. After more eating and more drinking we arrive in this beautiful Austrian city ,and let me say again beautiful . With our guided tour over we have a couple of hours free time, the girls hit the shops while Tom and WADDA begin to explore for ourselves. A ride in another Finicular up to the fort that then gives us a commanding view of the city below, and it is just stunning with the happy snapping finished we head down into the city . Food is now on our radar and Tom suggest fish &chips from a shop he spotted when walking on the tour, we soon track down this fish monger and our hunger is cured. Time has come to meet up with the rest of our traveling companions for a quick look outside city limits, then it's back to the train for our 3hr journey to PASSAU to re join the ship. Not only are we fed and watered again we also have Chinese opera singers on board who give a Royal performance. Back on the boat after a very big day it's time for dinner,this continuous cycle of eating and drinking has turned poor old WADDA a bit pear shaped . My new title may have to change to Rolly polly, if you ever do a cruise with APT you we never fade away the constant barrage of food is obscene but it's fun. We sailed from PASSAU during dinner and we are now heading for Regensburg another historical German town then at1730 we sail for Nuremburg, the wi fi service is a bit dodgy in some areas so these blogs maybe a bit behind. Need more food so see ya .............WADDA
