Arriving in Regensburg-- Danube Gorge

Overnight we have navigated into the Danube and are docked at Regensburg.  A day of splendid choices has sent us off in many directions.  Fred, Mary, Bob, Shelley and Mike are headed to the wild, romantic stretch of the Danube with sheer cliffs, rising 100 meters out of the water.  They also visit the Weltenburg Abby, located directly beneath the cliffs of the Danube Gorge. The Abbey is one of the oldest in Bavaria, founded in 620.  Also, the Abbey houses the oldest brewery in the world as the monks have been brewing beer since 1050.  They are treated to a taste of the beer, along with a German pretzel.
