If today is Saturday we must be in Rudesheim, Germany. We arrived here last night just before dinner. The photo of the church below was typical of the views we were seeing from our ship last evening.
Rudesheim is a small town of 10,000 people that sees two million visitors every year. Our half day trip into town today was to see Siegfried's Mechanical Music Cabinet. It’s a mechanical music museum - think player piano on steroids. I’ll try to post a video. One of the instruments played six violins and a piano at the same time.
After our tour we were treated to a special coffee. In brief, it was a great tasting Irish coffee with Chocolate shavings on top. It was a brief walk back to the ship.
We left port about 1:00 and we cruised through the Rhine Gorge. Our guide said this area has the largest concentration of castles in Europe. Even if that is not true, there were a lot of them and this portion of the cruise was by far the most scenic.
“ Rudesheim is a small town of 10,000 people that sees two million visitors every year.“ It sounds like Sturgeon Bay but with more castles.
ReplyDeleteQuite the views from your ship! Thanks for sharing. It’s fun following along.
