Tom and I went to the Austerlitz battlefield where Napoleon beat the Austrians and the Russians ( despite the Russians claim never to have lost- didn't know about this battle).
After seeing the hilltop battle site, it is amazing how much turned on such a small battle field. It almost compares to a rugby match. One place at one time, and one winner. Same thing at Waterloo and Hastings. and Bannochburn.....
The ride thereafter was long but what a ride through cornfields, sunflowers, vegetables, just a great ride.
As we neared the Austrian border it became hillier with more vinyards and prettier, until we reached the Danube. What a wonderful trip down the river. Castles, churches and to top it off sausages and sauerkraut for lunch.
So we ended up in Passau. Why Passau ? Still don't know.
