Cracking place, lots of Squares, bars, cycle tracks, on the river and sunshine ☀️ 👍. Parked up in a Stellplatz which has about 15 legit parking places but it was chocca. MHs parking everywhere. Local council obviously not bothered as the MHs stay overnight and pay more to get out. And revenue to the town of course. 👍. A bit like the UK 🥴. To buy a glass of wine and drink it on the bridge brings you good luck 👍🥂Read more

We had a late start to the day as we didn't arrived in Miltenberg till 1.00. There was a glass blowing exhibition in the lounge in the morning and he was selling lots of different decorations. Then Jen left to go to a tour of a Palace and meet the aristocrats. I was supposed to go to a tour of a Monastery but I was too sick with colitis to get out of bed, so stayed on the boat while it sailed through the locks and met everyone Wertheim to reboard after their tours. I didn't realised we had docked until I woke up to see someone staring at me though our balcony window.Read more
Oh no I can’t believe you colitis, did the drugs help? [Tasha]

We arrived in Wurzburg in the morning, then took a tour with guide Miguel Geronimo from Portugal to the Bishop's Palace. The baroque palace was built between 1720 and 1744 replacing an older palace within a fortress on the other side of the river. We then walked through the center of town viewing the buildings. After lunch Anna and I hiked up to a delightful chapel on the other side of the river, then on to the pedestrian bridge for a glass of wine, back to the Bishop's Palace for a visit to the gardens then through the university district before returning to the ship.Read more

Time for another walk.
First up, the Residence. Opulence. So much wealth!
A lot of the ‘treasures’ were hidden during the Second World War. The roof was destroyed in 1945. Ever since it has been under restoration. A great job is being done.Read more
Traveler So far for relaxing on a boat... 😉

July 8 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Alina and Julien dropped us off at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhoff (main station). We said our goodbyes and made plans for Alina and Julien to visit (Feb/March 2026, mark it in your calendars!). We then made our way to Frankfurt where we caught our bus to Wurzburg.

Nathan visited Wurzburg 10 years ago and remembered it as a beautiful little German town on the Main River, just inside the Bavarian border. We dropped our bags and went exploring, stopping for a quick beer on the river before heading up to the Marienberg Fortress on the hill. Some great views over Wurzburg and a beautiful breeze made it a nice place to relax for a little bit. We tried to visit the garden at the fortress, but there was some restoration work going on so we were unable to get inside.

We headed back into town, recreated a photo Nathan took 10 years ago on the old bridge, before heading for dinner. Vietnamese was on the menu tonight and Vela was very happy to find some super spicy chili's. Back to the hotel to rest up. We made a spur-of-the-moment decision to purchase tickets to the Spain v France Eurocup semi-final in Munich tomorrow night, so looking forward to experiencing some European football!Read more
Traveler Such a cool idea to recreate your photo!! 10/10

Så är i på väg norrut i riktning mot Sverige.
En mellanlandning i Würzburg.
Vi trodde att ett firande ägde rum.
Utefter floden satt ungdomar och drack öl.
På den gamla medeltida bron minglades det med vinglas som köps i en lucka i väggen.
Uteserveringarna var fulla med folk.
Enligt receptionisten var det bara att folk ville komma ut efter vintern.
Anpassningsbara som vi är satt vi på en uteservering med vin och öl.
Borgen på berget började uppföras före 1000-talet men utökades till slottsborg av vår kung Gustav II Adolf 1631.
Nu närmar vi oss slutet på vår resa, så en liten sång av Simon and Garfunkel kanske kan beskriva en liten känsla som börjar smyga sig på.

Seit 1855 im Einsatz für die Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft.
Die Oberzeller Franziskanerinnen leben und handeln im Sinne ihrer Gründerin Antonia Werr und ihrer Vorbilder Franziskus und Klara von Assisi, die sich arm, geschwisterlich und solidarisch für ausgegrenzte Menschen und die Schöpfung einsetzten.
Bodenständig, tolerant und offen ist unsere Gemeinschaft durch ihren Dienst ganz nah am Menschen, insbesondere für Frauen und Mädchen, über die Jahrzehnte geblieben. Bis heute engagieren sich rund 100 Ordensschwestern und etwa 300 Mitarbeiter*innen im Alten- und Pflegeheim Antoniushaus, im Fachbereich Frauen mit dem Haus Antonia Werr und dem Wohnverbund Berscheba in Würzburg, im Antonia-Werr-Zentrum in St. Ludwig, im Bildungshaus KlaraRead more

We had a quiet day on board our new ship AmaReina after doing a ship swap yesterday, due to Lock problems and water level being high, it was built in 2014 and is a sister ship to AmaCerto. The stylish 443-foot river vessel features a glass elevator, spacious accommodation with twin balconies and a heated pool with a swim-up bar. It has three decks and carries 164 passengers and 49 crew.10 Feb 2017Read more
Thanks for the photos. Unfortunate about the ship exchange but if you got better cabin then worthwhile. Wishing you both a happy Easter. [John Barnes]

Traveler The "Amacerto" is actually called... the "Amavenita". APT.

We arrived early and left for our tour to Rothenburg at 8.30, it was an hour bus ride. The town is a walled town and once you were inside the walls it was a village that time forgot (except for the cars) The Christmas shop was amazing, we spent most of our free time in this shop and could have spend all our money there too. We then had a coffee in a beautiful cafe and walked down to the gardens in Pinocchios nose. We wandered around all the little shops and then headed back to the buses at 1.30, as soon as we arrived back at the boat we were off again. Next stop BambergRead more
