I tried to rouse myself, after all, we had an adventure planned to go visit the Gottweig Abbey. This has been a working Benedictine Monastery since around 1100 AD, and I was very much looking forward to the visit. After my failed attempt to lift head off pillow, however, I resigned myself to a day well spent in appreciation of the Egyptian Cotton bedding Viking supplied us with. I did enjoy this view out of my window, as well as the On Demand Downton Abbey spree. I did not do too bad, all told.
Later in the afternoon, I was able to enjoy a lovely, comforting soup for lunch, and then slowly wandered around the boat, taking in as much scenery as I could from the top deck of the Tor. Which is easier said than done. Y'all its cold up there!

Thus fortified, I decided to brave the weather, enjoy the view and photograph the cruising later that afternoon.
Jeff had a great time at his Abbey Tour and I will post his photos from that adventure in a later edition.
Note to future self and travelers - Bring plenty of medications for this sort of trip. I should have brought along with me some Claritin D; Benadryl; and Halls. Because guess what, trying to find these things in a foreign country with different rules about what one may purchase without a prescription is a bit problematic. More on that later.
