The cold, rainy weather continues so it felt like the perfect opportunity to enjoy a day on the Impression, and it turned out to be a great decision. The lounge was quiet and empty after the crowds left for their tours at 9:00 am. A "light" breakfast awaited, just for us.

After a chocolate croissant and a coffee, I took a long walk down the canal and into the damp woods. Perfect!

The hordes returned around noon and we were treated to a special Bavarian lunch with several types of wurst, potatoes, sauerkraut and beer. This is a very friendly boat...only 118 passengers. After one week travelling together, you get to know several people well. The pace of travel also lends itself to socializing and making new friends,although the pace will pick up once we start downstream on the Danube.
Since Wurzburg, we've been travelling on the Main-Danube Canal. After lunch, we were treated to a local lecturer who told us the history of the canal. He also gave a detailed description of how all the locks work.
