Cruising the Rhein, having some wine!!

Bingen

Tripper drank to much, almost fell into Rhein!

Sissy from Guanzhou China
Had an awesome day! Went to Koblenz, toured around the gorgeous town. There is a cable/gondola car which goes over Rhein river up to a castle on the mountain top. Sissy & I went on a boat cruise down the Rhein river to a placed called Rudesheim. Great weather, wine, who could ask for anything more! Castles on the mountains, lovely vineyards...quaint little towns.  Awesome! Cruise was longer than I thought, 6 hrs (3-4 would of been plenty). We ended in Rudesheim which is known for...yes you got it..WINE!!  Sweet town, had dinner with wine of course! Such a long day, all the sun & wine, arrived back after midnight longing for sleep! Settling in when water came pouring out of bathroom! OMG!!!  My fellow traveler from China, Sissy had taken a shower, using handheld shower outside of stall. She seemed to have forgot-no drain in main part of bathroom floor, not like at home!  Managed to retrieve my Ipod which was charging, just in time!  Geez.....we spent the next 45 mins mopping up water! After the shock all I could do is laugh!!  Spent a couple of days in Cologne, very pretty place, weather was sunny, great. Lovely cathedral, unbelievable all the intricate detail & work that took place hundreds of years ago!  Just amazing!
