The weather today was not brilliant. It was grey and a bit on the cold side. I was going to make it an admin day but went out to look at the local area here. Klosterneuburg is dominated by the monastery up on the hill. It is a functioning monastery with 50 Augustinian Canons basically managing the wine industry in the area. It is a very old foundation. It goes back a thousand years and has been built and rebuilt over the years. It was the Kaiser who founded it and invited the Augustinians to set up there as well. I decided to go for the guided tour. I was the only one when the time came so the guide was happy to do it in English. Then after we had started three Germans joined in so that was the end of the English. The Kaiser also had appartments here and they were very find and well worth seeing. It would have been foolish to come here and not see the splendour of the monastery up on the hill.
Good news about the Ryder Cup but it wasn't the same watching the live updates on Sky.
However, not a day for photos particularly. I don't know where the good weather is at the moment. It says on the news that it's up to 25 degrees north of the Alps in places - but not this place.
