On our return from Salzburg we cross the border into Bavaria, Germany. There is no border control so you don't even notice it. We are late getting back to Passau due to construction on the roads and are afraid that we might have missed our appointed time to go through the lock.
On this passing you can see how little clearance we have for the bridge. They had to take down the umbrellas and make sure everyone was sitting down. I could almost touch the underside of the bridge as we passed. We pass through a total of 25 locks on this trip and travel 485 miles. Going through the locks is really interesting. In some we go down and some we go up. It takes approximately 20 minutes to pass through.
Unidentified building on the cliffs as we cruise to Regensburg.
Beautiful evening on deck.
Our cabin attendant is great...here she leaves a 'towel sculpture'.
Part of the original wall entering Regensburg. The Celts settled here about 500 B.C. In 179 A.D. It was a Roman military post.
Built without mortar and still standing today!
Baroque design...very dark inside even though there are some stain glass windows.
This is the older style tower with the baroque design to the church on the other side.
Lots of shops and restaurants...really nice little town. Our guide says they get a lot of fog in the winter from the Danube.
We have lunch in this eatery famous for Bavarian sausage. Originated in 800 but the prices have definitely changed. Quite expensive...quite a "tourist" trap.
