From here we walked to the town hall. Marked on it's wall was the flood lines for all the years that the Danube overflowed. The most recent was 2013 where is came up to the second story of all the buildings.
We then walked over to the Inn River. Across from this river is the Church of St. Mary which is a pilgrimage church comprised of 321 steps and you must say a prayer on each step as you walk up.
We then walked back through the town and stopped at the executioners house. Luckily he wasn't home so we were safe. Side note its now used as a night club for the younger generation
While we were enjoying the sites around Passua the boys were having fun biking along The Inn river into Austria and back again
Here they are about to cross into Austria
Our guide then brought us to St. Stephan's to listen to an organ concert. The boys met up with us here. It is home to the world's largest cathedral organ.
After a quick lunch we headed back out to do some shopping I had a few Euros burning a hole in my pocket.
We made it back on the ship just in time. They were literally bringing up the gangplank as we were walking up it, and off we went to cruise to our next port, Linz. We enjoyed a nice blue champagne cocktail on the top deck as we cruised down the blue Danube. FYI its more green then blue.
We went through our first lock too.
The mermaid of the Danube is Isabel after we passed through the lock there is a small chapel erected as a memorial to people who lost their lives to the Danube and on the other side is a statue of Isabel
After a fantastic dinner on board the ship we have made it to Linz!
