    Sneaking out…

    24 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    Aha, I caught Tom sneaking out of our tiny room…I am not going to miss an opportunity to shop!
    We donned our 3 layers, toques and gloves and headed out for one last look around Würzberg. It has been windy and raining most of the day, temperatures around 6 degrees. It is Sunday and everything is closed except a few restaurants, the Oldest wine bar in town and the Market in the town square. Locals come out with their families and friends for a visit, a beer or glass of wine on the bridge(this is wine country after all). The vineyard here is 4K long and produces some fine wine.
    It was a good walk, fastest pace we have walked in days and it felt good.

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    This is a morning stop at a small town situated when the Tauber and Main rivers converge. There is a castle overlooking Wertheim and our guide, Ursula, has a keen knowledge of the history peppered with a pleasant and engaging delivery including stories of her family.Читать далее

    Pointed Tower (Spitzer Turm)

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    This 500 year old tower has been leaning a bit for years. Long enough for an attempt to correct the incline by building an extension inclined in the opposite direction. Originally the tower served as a prison for drunkards and quarrelsome wenches.Читать далее

    Burg Wertheim

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    Wertheim Castle, constructed in the 12th century, is a bit of a hike from the town. It is a well preserved ruin that affords excellent views of the surrounding area.

    Part two Burg Wernheim

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    From the town, Dianne thought that a hike up to the castle would be a good idea. Half way up the rugged hill, she was rethinking her commitment to the castle due to the height and vast open view. We made to the top, but I had to horse whisper Dianne to get there.Читать далее

    High water marks of floods.

    This is our favourite place

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    Wernheim is such a charming town. More over it is so friendly. We would definitely come back here for a visit. Our guide is proud to be from Wertheim and is willing to put up with the frequent flooding that occurs in the town.Читать далее

    Glass blowing lesson

    25 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    This demonstration lasted over an hour. Hans Ittig is a 7th generation glass blower based in Wertheim. Dianne knew there would be shopping; jewelry, sculptures and his signature piece - a little sparrow. We own one now!Читать далее

    Trip down the Rhine river. We made a stop along the way to meet an ambulance and medevac for a fellow who had a bad fall.
    Pictures from the middle Rhine river through the castle district.

    Lorelei sits on a rock made famous by a story of a maiden who- betrayed by her lover committed suicide by leaping into the Rhine and became a siren who lured sailors to their deaths.Читать далее

    Koblenz is where the Rhine river and the Moselle rivers meet. The horseman is Kaiser William I, a famed Teutonic knight.

    Köln

    27 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    It is a dreary day and we are walking slow as a group. You get cold standing around. Dianne and I are uninspired by this. Maybe it would be better if it was sunny and warm.

    Köln Cathedral

    27 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Another big church. What I enjoyed about this one is a story our guide told us about the stained glass. One picture of the glass clearly shows a modern style compared to the original. The Arch Bishop of Köln didn’t like it and wanted it changed. Others in the church thought it was fine and overruled him. I guess being the Arch Bishop doesn’t carry the same weight as it did in the Middle Ages.Читать далее

    Kinderdjik

    28 марта 2024 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    It is a cold and windy day here at Kinderdjik. All of the windmills are in working order, and pumped water in the past. Today, water is pumped using electric motors. The idea is to pump water from lands below sea level, behind the dykes, and have some reclaimed ground you can cultivate.Читать далее

    Windmill household

    28 марта 2024 г., Нидерланды ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

    One more interesting fact is that many of the windmills are inhabited. You need to be licensed as a millwright, and then you can apply to live in the windmill. You pay rent, but it is reasonable and you have to maintain the windmill in working order as part of the agreement. Not really for us, even if I was a licensed millwright, but would be cool to say you live in a windmill.Читать далее

    Last day with new friends

    28 марта 2024 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    We met some nice people on this trip. There was 180 people on the boat and we think there was 7 Canadians, 18 Australians and the rest American. Didn’t meet any Kiwis. We got along well with the Aussies and also met some very pleasant Yankees. We didn’t talk politics very much, mostly conversations about previous travel and grandchildren.Читать далее

    Heading into a lock

    Last thoughts…

    30 марта 2024 г., Канада ⋅ ☀️ -10 °C

    Dianne and I felt that this group was a little old for us. We like to go at a faster pace than the average person on the river cruise. We also did not realize there were 67 locks to pass through. There were 4 days of being on the ship in the afternoons with no where to go. The upper deck was closed.

    The food was excellent and the staff on board were first rate. We learned a lot about European history on the various guided tours. We might do this again, but it will probably be at least 5 or 6 years from now.

    It is good to be home but we do miss the meals prepared for us and the dishes done. Also our room was tidied and bed made each day. As they say, welcome back to reality😂
