Passau/Linz

The weather seems to be a bit better today - not windy at least. We are at the confluence of the Danube, Ilz and Inn rivers. This puts a lot of boats in a tiny town.



As today's entry suggests (Chris' spelling) our morning walking tour finishes at (what else??) a cathedral containing Europe's largest pipe organ - 17 774 pipes. We listen to a fabulous organ concert - loud, bombastic (you could feel the low notes) and we are actually familiar with the pieces.



We are back on board for lunch and sail through the afternoon.



In the evening we dock in Linz, and head out for dinner. Although the town seems quite big there isn't all that much action. We settle on a traditional Austrian dinner of calamari and Greek meatballs!
