I will try to catch up on writing while I have a few minutes. We are docked in Speir, another old city on the Rhine, where we will visit this morning.
Yesterday was all about castles. We had docked at Boppard, on the west side of the river. Some of us wanted to visit the Marksburg Castle, which is on the east side, therefore we boarded the bus, and had to travel back to Koblenz to get to the other side, as there are no bridges on this stretch of the Rhine.
The Marksburg castle is one that has never been destroyed, nor taken by force. It dates back to the year 1032, and was passed down through family lines, or sold. It is very well maintained, and very big.
We traveled this stretch for close to 3 hours, with one castle after another. The scenery was lovely, and impressive.
Well, I must close as our group leaves in 15 minutes and I want to get this sent.
So until next time, Auf wiedersehn.
