Rhine River Boat Ride

After our night of royal treatment, we drove to the bottom of the city to explore while we awaited our boat ride on the Rhine River. The kids found a park area to enjoy and run off some steam.

Then we walked and took pictures of the area - spring is everywhere!






My dad, the retired pharmacist (who doesn't get to chat with people as much these days), found an Apothek (pharmacy) still decorated like old times. He fell in love and said, "K, take a picture of this!"
This is the boat we boarded for our ride down and back on the Rhine River.
None of us were expecting the beauty of the land surrounding the Rhine and the spring blossoms just enhanced the views. I'm not sure what we were expecting, but it far exceeded my expectations.


Schoenburg Castle on the top of the hill and a church in front of it.

We ate lunch here on the top balcony.

You can see all the vineyards in the background on the left.

People are really working out there!
