We began our day cruising through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world: The middle Rhine Valley, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We sailed past Rhine castles in various states of repair, watching over idyllic small towns, churches and vineyards. I kept hopping up onto the upper deck for pictures, then returning to the lounge to thaw. Rob remained in the toasty lounge, but took advantage of the spectacular scenery through the lovely floor to ceiling windows.
At the narrowest part of the Rhine, we passed by Lorelei Rock, named for the legendary Rhine Maiden who lured sailors to their doom by singing like the ancient Greek sirens. We arrived in the charming town of Koblenz to have this view from our balcony.
It was a sunny, glorious day, and I even needed by sunglasses for our tour to the Marksburg Castle. This castle remains as the headquarters of the German Castles.
