Most of the group headed out to tour the abbey but Mary stayed on the ship. 
We had visited here a few years back where we had a great tour of the abbey. 



Mary later took a walk along the Danube.

On the way back she saw a great rainbow across the river.

It was a sunny day, so we had lovely views of the towns along the river. 

We arrived in Vienna late in the afternoon and most of the group headed out again…this time to the Vienna Christmas Market.  So magical at night.
