july the 29th

For once we have no alarm on and sleep until we wake by ourselves. When we wake up we find about 6 cruising ships moored, 3 of them on our pontoon, and a lot of retired people on Donau cruise, strolling around in the town. It does not make them or us disappointed. We leave Dürnstein in the afternoon.



We decide to continue until we find a good place to anchor. But the river is quite narrow and without good anchoring places. As it gets dark and we have difficulties finding an island where we planned to anchor. When we try we do not get any hold with the anchor. It is no sand, only rock on the bottom, and our anchor, the CQR is not particularly good on that type of bottom. We therefore continue a bit further, until about 3AM when we approach a lock. There is a pontoon we can moor at to get some hours of sleep.

and some postcards, of course :)
