I also stayed in Melk, stayed in a pension right of the main street run by a family. Very cute. Took the boat trip down to Danube(my spelling is wretched. please forgive) to go to the ruins at Durnstein..i beleive it was called. It was amazing. Never made it into the abby but walked around it. Salzburg was awesome. Had a few beer up near the castle. I liked the smaller towns more then vienna actually. Zurich was also awesome. Flew in there to get to Austria. I go to turkey in Sept. Two weeks and it is overwhelming to figure out where to go.
