Cruising the Rhine

Catching up on photos we took in Germany during our last full day. We took a river cruise down a portion of the middle Rhine, from Bingen to St. Goar. It took about 2 hours, the perfect length of time after a morning spent on the train from Bielefeld to Mainz.
It was a wonderful trip - there was an impressive rain storm chasing us, but we never got doused.
Castles and churches galore.
