Thursday, May 13, 2010 - Another holiday here in Germany - Jer had the day off work and all the kids were home from school. We have been wanting to take a Rhine River Cruise for quite some time now - and decided today was the day! We drove to Bacharach (small town along the Rhine) where we chose to go with the Bingen-Rudesheimer Fahrgastschiffahrt. Our boat took us to St. Goarshausen and back to Bacharach (which was about a 3 hour cruise). We could have gotten off at St. Goar and toured the town for about an hour - but we decided to stay on the boat. It was pretty cool outside - but it was nice and comfortable on the boat. The kids had fun with our cameras taking tons of misc photos. We had such a nice, relaxing time - we plan to go again - and probably do a longer cruise next time.
Waiting to board the boat....once on the boat we found 2 tables next to eachother and got comfortable!
There was a little ledge along the windows - Silas spent most of his time here looking out at the water or the other boats/barges passing by. This was Shelby's first ever boat ride!
Some scenic pictures from the cruise....
Castles, The Loreley(huge rock), and quaint river towns....
Camera fun!!!!
Silas was thrilled to get his very own bottle of Coke! Shelby got a taste too?!? (amazing what you can do with a camera....)
Jer on the top deck - it was too cold to go sit up there today -but maybe it will be warm and sunny the next time we go on a Rhine River cruise...
