Daz 12: Vajta to Melk

Todaz, Sundaz the 12th, we got up earlz, ate breakfast with Jason and Angie, and then went to the first service at Calvarz Chapel Budapest. (In case zou're wondering, I'm trzing to tzpe this on a German Kezboard; guess what kez moved to the location where the Y is on an American kezboard.)

Since we have only fleeting access to computers (I'm standing up writing this on a terminal in the hotel lobby), I'll just try to keep up with where we are and what we're doing; I'm keeping track of the details in my journal, and I,ll add them later (along with the pictures) when we have better access to the Internet.

After church at 10:30, Jason drove us over to Keleti station, helped us find our train and spend our last few Forints on Paprika chips and a sandwich from a train-station food stall, and said goodbye as we caught the 11:10 express train to Vienna.

The train was about a half hour late getting into Vienna, so we missed our initial connection to Melk, where we plan on spending two days on the Danube in the Wachau valley. We had a cup of coffee, and then caught the next train. By 4:00 PM we were checked into our hotel and out checking out the hotel and the massive Melk Abby which dominates the town.

After exploring the town, we had a wonderful dinner (sure, and ice-cream after) and I was sound asleep by 9:00 PM.

    Loved reading your travels which were so much of mine on Eurrail pass in 1968 !! It was a wonderful reminder of that trip so far.
    I was so happy to hear that you did make it to Vajta and even saw pictures of you with our grandkids! very jealous!
    Continue to have a great trip with all the Lord's blessings.
