Vienna (and a little bit of England)


Tuesday, October 31, 2000

Today we went out into the countryside, to visit the Benedictine monastery at Melk.
It is a wonder of Baroque architecture... perched on a cliff.

High on a cliff, you exit either a marble reception hall, or an extraordinary library,
And gaze across the Danube.
