Cruising Germany

Aug. 3-6
We've spent the last several days cruising the Rhine River and the Main River (pronounced "Mine") through Germany.  Our stops along the way have included Koln (Cologne), Koblenz, Rudesheim, Miltonberg, Rothenburg and Wurzburg.  Today we stop in Bamberg. All along the way we've had a chance to see beautiful historic sites.  Many of the towns suffered immense damange in WWII from the bombings.  The art and history have been amazing! I'm not much on German food but the wine has been great!  Shocker!!! And, of course, we are having a great time with our friends!  By the end of the trip we will have been through 63 locks.  Tomorrow we will enter the Danube River on the way to Nurnberg.

BTW, "berg" means hill; "burg" means castle.
