The bus to Regensburg didn’t leave until 1:00 so we walked into Deggendorf’s town square, mainly for exercise since there wasn’t much to see. After lunch we rode to Regensburg and met our guides for a 1 ½ hour walking tour. We started over the Stone Bridge, built in the early 1200s and went into the old city. Our first diversion was a famous sausage shop on the river by the bridge to try the local 3 small sausages in a roll with sweet mustard. Delicious. The city was beautiful and we enjoyed the tour in spite of the 24 degree & windy day. IT WAS COLD… After the tour we had about 2 hours to explore the Christmas market where we bought some Christmas ornaments, had another sausage and drank gluwein to warm up.
Before dinner the captain announced that the water level was dropping and, at about 3:00am, we would sail to Regensburg so the bus ride to Nuremburg would be short. After dinner the guests decorated the 3 Christmas trees in the lounge.
