My favourite stop so far is Passau, Germany. We spent the day here, with a guided hike in the morning and then set off to see the fortress at the top of the hill. Passau is one of Bavaria’s oldest cities and our lederhosen-clad guide sang its virtues. He has a law degree but is living the life before committing himself to a job - travelling and making money guiding.

| Charming streets of Passau. Coloured cobbles are going to be changed in a few weeks - children bring paint pots and colour them. This year it will be yellow and red. |

| Glimpse of St. Stephen's Cathedral as we wander the streets of city's Altstadt (old town). |

| St Stephen's. Incense fogs the air. |
St Stephens Cathedral is a magnificent baroque church and we entered at the end of the Easter service and were treated to the full-throated music of one of Europe’s largest pipe organs.
