Today was castle day. We travelled along the most famous stretch of the Rhine River hearing about the history of the many castles we saw. We had several coffees with "Men's liquer" Yum.Lots of pretty villages,vineyards going up steep hills.One hard case priest in the 17th century found a solution for getting men to church.On one half of the building was a bar and you had to walk through the bar to get to the church.
In the afternoon we stopped at Rudesheim. It has a population of 10,000 but has over 3 million visitors a year. It has quaint, narrow cobblestone street with lots of bars etc.We travelled by a mini train up to Siegfried's Musical Cabinet musuem which was amazing.The highlight was one cabinet that had almost a full orchestra including violins in it. Walked back to the boat where the boys enjoyed cards up on the sundeck.
