Happy Cruising the Rhine River Gorge

Last week I shared some photos from our time in Frankfurt! We had a lovely time in the city, but we were ready to board the boat for the start of our cruise down the Rhine River. After a lovely introduction to the cruise director, captain, and crew, we had a welcome dinner and then went to the sky deck to watch our departure from Frankfurt. It was lovely to see the city at night. We woke to a bright sunny morning, had breakfast and started our tour of the Rhine Gorge. We passed castle after castle as well as many lovely towns along the river. It was a day spent entirely on the boat which was a little different. To break up the day there was a spirited cornhole contest won by some cruisers from Australia! That night we had a delightful wine tasting on the boat, dinner, and prepared to reach Strasbourg and our first excursions off the boat. I’ll share that adventure next Travel Tuesday!
