Castle In The Middle Of The River Rhine

Castle In The Middle Of The River Rhine

Who would’ve thought to have put a castle in the middle of the river? And more importantly why? I guess because they can! This was definitely the highlight of the cruise… I never expected to see a castle actually built right in the middle of the river… guess the good thing is that they didn’t have to build a moat ;)

Yet Another Castle On A Hill On The River Rhine

Yet Another Castle On A Hill On The River Rhine

There must’ve been literally dozen’s of castles on the river Rhine. The good thing is that many of them are very different… I guess it depends on when they were built. The best thing about this one is that it has vineyards going right down the side of it :D

Old Church On The Rhine

Old Church On The Rhine

We spent about 8 hours on the cruise ship up the Rhine. From memory this old church was at about the halfway point… just after an awesome lunch and even more awesome dessert :D

The Two Brothers Castles

The Two Brothers Castles

If my memory serves correct (and there’s a good chance it doesn’t!) this was one of the two castles belonging to two feuding brothers. This one built his castle on the lower ground so his brother might’ve had a bit of a tactical advantage?!?

Crumbling Old Castle

Crumbling Old Castle

Quite a few of the castles were falling apart… guess some of them might’ve been damaged in the war or maybe they’re just getting old?

They Do Things A Little Different Over Here?

They Do Things A Little Different Over Here?

Found this a little different… there was like an old school factory sitting on the Rhine river. They had a yard full or different types of rocks in different piles that they used ships to ferry up the river. I guess they could’ve been exporting them but over here in Australia you’d expect to see trucks hauling these out?!?
