Day 4 -- morning on the Rhine
We leave Ruedesheim bright and early (well, early) for a Rhine
cruise on the Koln-Dusseldorfer line, and our boat is the "Berlin."
It's a popular one for busloads of tourists who pile on but as
luck would have it, the frigid weather out on the desk soon drives
everyone inside except loons like us. John doesn't seem bothered
by the cold weather but Kate thinks we have mistakenly gone to
the Antarctic. The sun has a hard time emerging from the clouds
but we seem some great scenery nevertheless. A variety of small
Rhineland towns and castles drift past on our three-hour cruise
to Boppard. Leaving Boppard, we take a series of three trains
to Mainz, Mannheim, and our final destination of Munich.
