We are in Boppard, Germany sailing on the Rhine. We started in Basel in Switzerland. A river boat is a wonderful way to see the country. Today we cruised by a bunch of castles on the Rhine. Do not think of these castles as opulent buildings...think ruins in picturesque places...very pretty and very old.
Yesterday we were in Speyer, home of one of the many Prince Bishops of ancient Germany. We looked at the Romanesque cathedral, the walls around the city and the ancient tower gate. Boppard too is an ancient Roman city, which was surrounded by a wall, and 48 towers...a big city.
Tonight we will be in Koblentz where the Moselle and Rhine meet. Then we will sail to Trier the oldest city in Germany.
My few minutes are just about up...more later.
