Rhine River!

On our first full day in Germany we took a river cruise on the Rhine from Bingen to Boppard.  The landscape is beautiful and there were castles everywhere!

Such beautiful scenery in the Rhine River valley!

We got off at Boppard to take the sesselbahn (chair lift) to the top of a large hill overlooking a bend in the river.

We took a train from Boppard to St. Goar because I insisted on touring the ruins of Rheinfels castle.  That seemed easy enough until we couldn’t find the walking path up to the castle and basically had to scale a mountain to make it there.  All survived.
