Virtual cruise from Mainz along the river Main

We have reached Heidelberg and can now go ashore and have a walking tour.

LINK > Heidelberg Historic Town- ?? Germany - (37 minutes 1 second)

I have only watched the first three minutes thus far, but that is excellent so I am posting the link now.

Please decide whether we should go back to Frankfurt next, or while we are here do something else before returning to Frankfurt.

Loved the short cruise! I feel really quite refreshed!
So where are we heading for next on the good ship Der Goldene Delfine?

That was just beautiful!
I felt as if I was there, even the weather looked ideal.
I loved it.

Oh good, you're back
Off to enjoy the sights now, thank you.

Oh that does look lovely, the Neckar.
I'd enjoy taking in the scenery.

So here is a page with a map of the river.

Neckar

Der Silberne Delfin is at Mannheim.

So we need to get from Frankfurt to Mannheim.

Rome2Rio website

The Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) at Frankfurt is not far from the river.

When we get to Mannheim we can cruise on the river Neckar to Heidelberg

My mum used to love Mario Lanza's voice.
That reminded me of her.

What do you think would be best, bearing in mind all we need is our imaginations?
The world is our... erm... I went say the word, due to this being strictly vegan.

I would say, moor up, and take a detour.

It'll be nice to include recommendations from people.

How would you like to do that?

A separate thread? If so, running concurrently with this one, or after this one.

Or moor Der Goldene Delfin here, get some land transport to the other river, then cruise on that river on her sister ship Der silberne Delfin then return to Frankfurt to continue the cruise along the Main?

I hope so, too.
Thank you.

Hope you can try the River Neckar cruises down to Heidelberg about an hour south of Frankfurt a most picturesque beautiful romantic city

Right, I'm off to the Cathedral and the museum of modern art......

Der Goldene Delfin started its journey to travel around twenty miles from Russelsheim am Main to Frankfurt am Main at first light this morning to get us to Frankfurt am Main early.

Now we have arrived, here are two walkng tours.

LINK > Walking tour starting by the Opera House A colourful (is it a sculpture?) is near the start.

LINK > Walking tour starting near the Museum of Modern Art

Please note I have looked at the start of each of them for just a few minutes and I had a quick "lucky dip" at some way into one and the view was of in a large church. Frankfurt am Main has a Cathedral. I don't know, at this time of writing, if it is the Cathedral.

So if you notice anything interesting, please post about it.

Frankfurt am Main is one of the few places in Germany that is covered in Google street view.

LINK > Google street view

I do not know whether the two walking tours overlap as to where they go.

I have used

LINK > Rome2Rio

to show the journey from Opera House, Frankfurt am Main to Museum of Modern Art, Frankfurt am Main and they are 960 meters apart when walking.

They are Oper Frankfurt, Germany and Museum für Moderne Kunst, Hesse, Germany in Rome2Rio.

No!

You provided me with an opportunity to include a link to that jazz.

LINK > Music

Thank you.
Sorry I've been a bad passenger today.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I am looking forward to the food.

Tomorrow, Der Goldene Delfin is scheduled to move to Frankurt-am-Main.

Here is a link to a map showing the places we are due to stop on our cruise.

LINK > Map

The map is linked from the following web page.

LINK > Main river

Yet for this evening, some music.

LINK > On the bird meadow

I searched for

Russelheim am Main vegan

and I got some results, but I am not sure what they mean.

At the top of the list is

Komagene Rüsselsheim

but I think that the website mght be for a chain across various towns.

But it appears that Komagene Rüsselsheim is not far from the river Main.

So can we work out whether we can eat out there this evening or shall we dine on board Der Goldene Delfin?

or help from those who understand German please.

You may assume a time tunnel to avoid it being closed when we get there. The wonders of the imagination!

I absolutely loved that tour around Höchster Schloß, thank you for stopping off there StarDreamer, its such a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Lucky you Maximillian to have been born in such a beautiful part of the world. Can you recommend a good restaurant for dinner; I'm starving!
