Wachau valley winetasting, Austria, June 2012

We spend a lot of time in Vienna since it's an hour from Bratislava.  We wanted to explore the region outside of Vienna and decided on a Wachau valley winetasting bike tour.  We love bike tours because we can see more than on foot and we can get (some) exercise out of it.  We left Vienna by train, headed for Krems.  In Krems, we got bikes and started our ride.  It's a beautiful valley with the Danube running through it.  We had lunch in Durnstein, an adorable Austrian village.  Not only did we sample wines throughout the day, but we also had some apricot scnapps and chocolates from the region.
