Rhein Cruise

3rd July 2004 - Johnny's mother has come to visit us and so we thought we'd use this opportunity to go for a river cruise up the Rhein. The scenery was really fantastic. We all really enjoyed it, even the children. We sailed for 1 1/2 hours from Bingen near Mainz and headed north to St Goar. We stopped for an hour before heading back. Coming back took 2 1/2 hours due to having to go against the flow of the river.

We were a tad worried when the pilot decided to overtake at the same time as a ship in the opposite direction was overtaking. 4 ships wide in this stretch of water was just a bit of a squeeze much to the alarm of a number of passengers - including us.
