Wachau in the gloom: Sunday 24th October 2010

All wine boat trips should start from here!

After two glorious days (Friday and Saturday) largely spent inside@the European Wine Bloggers Conference Sunday turned out to be pretty miserable – a foggy but atmospheric morning which turned into a miserable wet afternoon and evening.

Here are a few photos of the earlier part of the day – mainly the boat trip along the Danube from Spitz to Dürnstein past many of the Wachau vineyards.
The gloom and the Danube


Durnstein through the murk
Dürnstein
Dürnstein: statue and vines
Dürnstein: Weingut Schmidl
Dürnstein: spider's web, vines and railings


Perhaps more to add.
