Austria: Dürnstein

So today was a nice, relaxing day! We floated down the river, going through a few locks along the way, and I had such a nice time sitting and watching the scenery go by. There were castles set on hills, terraced vineyards, and quaint small towns. One quaint small town, we stopped! It was Dürnstein and it was adorable. We had a nice guide walk us through the town stopping at a vineyard along the way. We also had a chance to try three local wines, which were nice! We then had time to explore the town on our own. Richard the Lionhearted had a castle here, which was perched high up on the hill. After exploring and shopping, it was time to get back on board for the rest of the day to cruise to Vienna. We arrived after dinner during cabaret hour. I was too tired to leave the ship (it was after 11pm at this point and I figured on Sunday night most things would be closed anyway), so I decided to wait to explore in the morning!

Enjoy the pictures of Dürnstein!
