Marvelous Melk!!! Known for it's incredible abbey. Our excursion today was to the abbey and it's associated museum and gardens. Having seen the wealth on display at numerous Catholic Churches throughout our trip I could not imagine the truly priceless items that must be housed in the Vatican. Little villages of 400 inhabitants have the most elaborate churches adored in jewels and gold.....and marble.....I have never seen so much marble!!! And that is nothing compared to the art work that adores every surface. The cost, the labour, the time, the ingenuity (no cranes, wooden scaffold.....no OHS) are mind blowing.
