Rhine cruises

Left 9.15 after good breakfast. To Mainz where the boat was late! A lovely cruise in sunny weather to Rudesheim where we stayed on the main street next to railway and river - we were on back of hotel. Siegfried's mechanical music museum had an amazing collection - player pianos, orchestrions. We bought a toy for Ciarán. Had amaretto ice and macchiato in nice cafe near hotel. After dinner went to see the street with oompah bands but decided to hit the hay! Thursday August 5th a lovely KD cruise to Koblenz passing the Loreley. Started on top but it became very windy so moved to back downstairs and had an enormous salad. Koblenz a building site and Hotel Mercure not that convenient.
