More in Niederwinkling.

 I forgot to say that after we’d been to Regensberg, we went to see Walhalla which was initiated by the Bavarian King Ludwig I. This large Doric styled building overlooks the Danube and has busts of many important people such as Kepler, Kant and Martin Luther inside the huge vaulted main room, a

pantheon! There are also lots of gold ornaments and tablets depicting German mythology. The views along the Danube were great.
On Tuesday Michael drove us to Passau. Here we went to see the Baroque cathedral, Dom St Stephen, which actually had a lot of light because of the clear glass at top of many of the beautiful stained glass windows. There are 5 independent organs which can be played together. There are 17,974 pipes and 233 registers! 🤗 . Soon afterwards we went to the station to meet another member of the family, Alexander, who is the youngest of this Jaeger family. He’s a microbiologist and professor of beer making at Linz university!  Christine had organised a tour of the city and castle, supposedly in english, but Alexander and Michael had to do lots of transltion. It was so interesting going around the narrow old city streets and up the steep hill to the castle. From the castle we could see the confluence of the 3 rivers, the Danube, the Inn(actualy a larger river than the Donau)  and the small Ilz. A few years ago there was massive flooding in the city and lots of damage to the old parts.

This photo was taken of  us all from walls of the castle overlooking the Danube river.  From left: Ken and Margot Bilston, Michael and Ulrike Korn, Alexander Jaeger and Christine Winterhalter. 

After a bri ef rest on return to Niederwinkling, Ken and I were on dinner duty. I had made a pavlova before we left, leaving it in the oven to cool. Ken had bought a lovely piece of salmon so that was just right for the salt and pepper salmon. This was served with potatoes(Christine’s addition), green salad and a tomato, green bean and lemon salad! Delicios, nothing left either😊 Then Michael whipped the cream and we put the pavlova together. It all worked so well fortunately!
