... no chance of being understood. Blessedly, there is some recognizable tunes. Shuls is a dance machine.

We stopped on the main bridge at a cafe with a fire blazing and had coffee. We then returned to the ship for our optional excursion to Rothenburg. A Unesco site that is a completely walled in Medieval village from the 12th century. We had lunch at a quaint Italian restaurantm the owner from Naples. Best food of the trip!

We’re now traveling on the Main River. We’ve seen many swans and ducks on the river and the hills have many vineyards. After lunch we docked at Wurzburg , another picturesque town with many church spires and a fortress on the hill. The river is crossed by another old stone bridge with large statues of Bishop Princes and saints lining the sides of the bridge.

... most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire and in 1248 work began on its mighty cathedral, designed to house the relics of the Three Wise Men.

... we certainly had a lot of fun.  I took the video camera and filmed the staff introducing them however once again I started of with the cap on but we figured that one out pretty quickly as I couldn’t see anything much to the amusement of the people around.  Still had lunch at 12.30 but must admit didn’t eat as much because we weren’t that hungry.  We docked at about 1.30 and left the ...

Hmm...We've hiked up the side of a VERY large hill dotted with newly blooming vineyards, stop to check our heart rate and continue on to see if we can storm the castle.

The elaborate Residenz features a medieval "garage," the entryway was large enough to accommodate a 6-horse carriage.
