Welcome to Frankfürt, please park your 747 all the way there, and dump your passengers on foot. We'll send you a bus because we feel generous today:

As soon as we landed in Frankfürt, we took our rental car (no, not the golden one), and started driving towards Schloss Burg Rheinstein,, our first castle of the day:

We went to see an old castle, the first one of many:



nice view from the top


grapes everywhere



After a quick stop in Bacharach to pick up the room key in our Pension/B&B, and went to the neighbouring town of Oberwesel where we walked the city walls and saw its towers afer visiting its museum::w







after this city wall tower went unused, that church stole in and grafted itself onto it :)

some pepole live up there and use the draw bridge



nice paint job
We then went to Bacharach to park our car and catch a boat ride down the Rhine:



We then took the train back and had a quick walk around the city before getting dinner:






little castle like entrance for the train tunnel




We got off the boat at St Goar, and then took the train back to Bacharach, and did a quick way through town to our restaurant and then back to our room:
