Guten Abend!
We started our day off with a lovely leisurely cruise down the river Rhein. We boarded in Boppard and a short hour and ten minutes later, we disembarked in Sankt Goar. Along the way we saw a number of chocolate box little towns that are typical of this region. Up above them were castles precariously perched on the hills and between them were orderly rows of vines, busy growing grapes in preparation for the harvest in September/October.
From there we hit the road to Rüdesheim am Rhein and spent some time exploring the picturesque cobblestoned streets and its souvenir shops. More importantly though, there was ice cream.
Many of us of course made time for a quick drop in at the all year round Christmas shop!
Next stop: Rüdesheimer Mechanisches Musik Museum, where we were entertained by instruments of bygone days and a couple of students even had a go at playing them!
A quick stop back at the hotel for pizza and, yes, more ice cream (well, it is 30 degrees here after all!) and we were back on the road to Koblenz, where our students spent the evening impressing us with their bowling skills.
We are currently heading back to the hotel- fingers crossed they get plenty of sleep ahead of the excitement of Phantasialand tomorrow!
