Our first excursion started at 8 o'clock in the morning in a light rain. We got off the boat got onto a carriage and drove to the town of Kelheim. Kelheim is German for home of the Celts who used to live there centuries ago. They have a Roman
Tower and a large WW1 memorial. Past Kelheim is a small town where we disembarked and walked around a limestone bluff to the Wettenburg Abbey. This Abbey has been making beer for over one thousand years. The oldest continuous beer maker on the world. The abby is as spectacular in its small way as the St Vitus Cathedral is in its big way.
