After changing into warmer clothes Greg and I headed off the boat with no specific destination in mind. Greg wanted to catch up on some emails and we thought that the Bishop’s courtyard might be a good place at the beer garden.

We took off walking and headed up towards the King’s Villa.

We meandered through a different part of town that we hadn’t seen earlier just to see what we might have missed.

We stopped at a grocery store to replenish our toothpaste and to see if there was anything else we needed.

We grabbed toothpaste and some M&M’s for our favorite wait staff and continued on our walk. (Fahoud was so excited when Linda offered him some of hers earlier this week. He’s one of the bartenders who’s excellent.)

We attempted to go to the beer garden as planned but they were closed. We weren’t exactly sure where to go so we continued walking a bit to see if anything jumped out at us. I was getting slightly hangry so we headed toward the original sausage kitchen.

Luckily after a short wait we were able to score a table.

We decided to each get potato soup and split a plate of wieners. If you ordered take away those came on bread but the ones on the menu did not so we ordered two rolls too. Oh ans two beers because when you’re in Germany that’s just what you do.

It was all really good. Especially the mustard which was almost a sweet mustard.

As we were waiting for the check someone came and set a basket down on our table as well as all the other tables. It was full of rolls. We were charged for our two rolls. So confusing. I’m not sure if those rolls were free (they were the same rolls) or if they see how many you take and add that to your bill?

After lunch we continued on our walk.

We ended up walking through a pretty vast park. It was a beautiful day.

We happened to see a car that is really similar to the Amy that we saw in Paris that Brooks wants to import.

I asked Greg if he knew where he was going which was a dumb question because Greg always claims to know where he’s going. We needed to be back to the boat in about 90 minutes and we aren’t totally sure how far away we are.

We found a cute beer garden on the opposite side of the Danube and popped in for a beer and so Greg could work for a little. Not a bad place to be.

Within an hour we needed to head back to meet the bus. The details included in our Viking daily were sketchy at best and we weren’t sure exactly where to go. Once again Greg was not concerned.

Greg wanted to try to find a bathroom before our 45 min ride back. We attempted to walk to one he saw on the map but there wasn’t one there. Our tour guide had mentioned there were almost no restrooms in town which was a headache for the guides. Greg wanted to walk to the one we knew about but I was nervous about meeting the bus and finding it ok. Greg went towards the restroom and I walked to where I thought we were meeting.

I looked for Gavin and didn’t see him or anyone else and I got nervous and called Linda to see if she could go ask the desk. Greg called as I was talking to her saying there were tons of people from our boat where we had eaten lunch. (They weren’t there when I walked past earlier or I hadn’t seen them.) Right after he called I saw Paul and Jane sitting on a bench. Crises averted!

We boarded our crazy painted buses and made the 45 min drive to the town where the boat had traveled to.

Now it’s back on board for a Danube River talk and dinner.
