Stay put day 1

Today is a day for exploring the area around Kelheim.  I was suppose to go for  a run, but was awake most of the so blew it off. After breakfast we head of to visit the Kloster Weltenburg. The Abbey has the oldest brewery in he world, since 1050. They produce award winning beer. After walking part way we catch a small boat for the remainder.  We wander the grounds for a bit, and then, surprise, bier garden. We have a couple beers and desserts. Very good, Chris went with apple strudel,  Lisa raspberry tart, and I had tart made with the Kloster liqueur. All very tasty. 

On the boat trip back the captain is sharing knowledge about the river, gorge and area. One of the ladies on the boat share a bit of thr info to us in english, we are thsnkful. On the walk back to town we are informed that we can pick the apples along the way, so we pick a few.
Once back in town, Chris opts to stay at the hotel, while Lisa and I proceed up the hill to check out the Liberation Hall. King Ludwig I commissioned he construction of this monument to commemorate both the victorious battles against Napoleon during the Wars of Liberation 1813-1815 and the unification of all the German races. Very impressive.

More traditional Bavarian fare for dinner, and an early night for us. Tomorrow back on the bikes.
