The next couple days on our cruise was a little simpler - we had a morning stop in Krems, Austria which is one of my favorite places on this trip. A cute little village with tons of old world charm complete with beautiful old doors and flower boxes in the windows. Much slower and quieter here - we walked from one end of the city to the other stopping in little stores, eating gelato, and one fun find was a store front that sold apricot liquor, schnapps, filled chocolates, etc. The business has been family owned and operated for 5 generations and the day we visited was the first day of their apricot harvest for the season so everyone was busy. I wasn't sure how much room I'd have in my suitcase to bring some back so just bought a small bottle of apricot cream liquor and some chocolates - yum. (Yep, we got to taste everything before deciding - fun!). Then back on the boat to continue cruising towards Germany, it was a very scenic trip and I took a few pics from our veranda - I enjoyed the lazy afternoon cruising by the small villages and castles tucked up on the hills while the cruise director pointed out interesting sights along the way. What a nice day.
The apple strudel was so good! Krems was one of my favorites too! Loving your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Are you going to try making the strudel? I'm worried I'll make it and then eat it all haha!!
