"Der April, der April, er macht was er will.""April, April, it does what it wants." Ok, so it doesn't sound nearly as cool in English, but you get the point.
Yesterday we took advantage of April's generosity with a beautiful bike ride through the Wachau with Matthias. I'm happy to report that Matthias has never ridden his bike through this portion of the Wachau. What that means is that we, two Americans, gave him, an Austrian, an authentic Austrian experience. How the tables have turned...
At top right, castle #1. We have taken this exact photo with all of our guests. We could make an entire album of just this shot, but that's because it's such a perfect photo spot. Wouldn't you agree?
Ships passing on the Danube. Tourist season has begun!
Pit stop an der Donau; Matthias walking on water.
Weingut Polz, wine for 1 Euro per glass. That's ridiculously cheap. The food was pretty cheap, too. The problem is you never quite know what you're gonna get. I gambled with Presswurst. It looks pretty weird but tastes ok. It's basically pressed chunks of different types of meat held together with a jelly of sorts and floating in oil and vinegar. It took some getting used to, but it was ok.
One of many peach trees (not to mention, apricot trees, apple trees, pear trees, grape vines) ; Matthias pretending he's a bee.
