With only a couple days left in the cruise, we awoke this morning having sailed into Passau and therefore our final country of Germany. And it was very quickly evident we were in Germany as we started the walking tour of Passau. Because...
We found a pub quiz in town, went, and came second. A nice Tuesday activity, we won a couple of mini bottles of wine. Charlotte smashed the music round, 20/20. After a fairly hot week we decided to take half of Thursday and all of Friday...
