Krems an der Donau – Day 2

Sunday 13th October 2024.

Day 30

We started the day slowly with croissants ordered the night before, they were quite large but sadly not as tasty as many we have had.

The morning continued with domestic duties but after lunch we walked into Krems,the centre was only about a mile away.

This gateway leads into what is mostly a pedestrianised street.

Outside city life shops appear to close at 12.30pm on Saturday and not re-open until Monday morning, so sadly we couldn’t go shopping.

This morning I had a message from my brother in law to say that when he and my sister were on a Danube cruise they visited Gottlieb Abbey that we can see from Homer and the monks make apricot liquer from locally grown fruit. Then when we were in Krems we came across a shop selling such items.

There are several large churches in the town centre but out of respect being a Sunday we didn’t go inside them.

These two stone figures has their hands over their ears, I’m not sure if it was because they were metres from the church bell tower, and if he’s not careful this man will find himself in church before he realises it.

We enjoyed wandering around the side streets leading off the main pedestrianised way, there was quite a range of different buildings.

The information is about the building with the pink lines on it.
A hot chestnut van, haven’t seen one of these for years.

When we arrived back at Homer another large cruise boat sailed past.

Tomorrow upwards and onwards and a new country to experience.
