Having tasted way to many pastries, it was time to leave Vienna. We were up early, cleaned up the apartment, and walked to the Main train station to get the 0845 train to Passau.
It is very easy to get around Austria and Germany by train. We have a first class euro rail pass for senior citizens. The large, bright, flat screens at the train station tell you what track to go to. We always pay the few extra euros to reserve seats. It is not always necessary, but it is less stressful knowing you have a seat together. The cost to make a reservation is 7 euros in Austria and 9 euros in Germany. On the platform there is another screen that tells you were to stand for the car you have been assigned. Platform 9 would be divided into 9A, 9B, 9C. Most of the time first class is just behind the driver 9A. We found our seats and off we went. We arrived in Passau, walked to our hotel, left our bags and went to explore.
Passau has a unique location at the confluence of three rivers, the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz. It is located in Germany near both the Austrian and the Czech border. Besides its location, the most impressive sight in town is the inside of St Stephens Cathedral and its church organ, which is the largest in the world.
Shucks to early. She had gifts selected.
