GirlRob’s conjunctivitis slowly
clearing, but sinus infection spreading to chest - luckily began a course of Dr
Deb the Travel Doctor’s antibiotics yesterday because today woke with sore
throat as well. Well, best way to deal with vehicle and health woes is to go
out and forget about them, which Wanderoos did. Headed to one of Heidi’s
suggestions - the baroque Reichersberg Abbey on the River Inn, owned by
Augustinian Canons since 1084. The marble fountain is crowned with figure of St
Michael. The leaflet said that in 2002 a painting “Massacre of Innocents” was
found to be an original Reubens and sold for €75m. No more
worries with upkeep!!
Peeked into cemetery, eerie seeing new graves on top of old ones. Had made tea in our travel mugs at breakfast in hotel - they were a perfect addition to our picnic lunch in the Abbey Gardens, avocado on seeded crackers, then sat with face up to sun in peaceful surrounds, it was such a beautiful day.
Drove up to Scharding for a walk in old town, briefly looked inside their dark, mouldy-smelling church; better out in open down over the bridge into Germany briefly to feed the ducks, geese, swans and chicks.
Race you for it Dad |
Could've sworn there were three..... |
Calzone and kebab for dinner from the Turkish cafe. Like other locals we have met they look so puzzled when they ask why we are here!!
