Virtual cruise from Mainz along the river Main

Oh Mainz. What a sweet place and a lovely place to take a river cruise from. My first born lived there for a couples of years and we did just that!

They are both lovely videos
The grounds are beautiful, with that wall around them.

The transport for the shore excursion to Höchster Schloß has arrived.

Our visit is, at present just to the grounds.

If anyone has any contacts and can arrange going inside that would be good.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Here is a link to some jolly jazz that I hope you will enjoy.

Hello.
I'm here!
Feeling a bit under the weather today. .

Der Goldene Delfin has now arrived at Russelheim am Main.

Later this afternoon there is a visit to Hochster Schloss.

Oh how peaceful and lovely is that! I love seeing all the activity of small boats going by; give them a wave everyone; we're on holiday! So looking forward to the next bit.....

Der Goldene Delfin is now leaving the river Rhine and moving into the river Main.

I watched the first one.
Enjoyed just taking in the sights, and how their was little pockets of activity, with market stalls.
I must have found it relaxing- I fell asleep!

I have just joined in the first part of the walk.
It is very relaxing and just what I needed as a change from thinking.
Wandering through streets, with no purpose in mind, is something I like to do when I'm on holiday.

Rhein not zRheinland
Predicted Text playing tricks again.

Warum ist das Rheinland so schon is not quite as lustig so will follow with Du kannst nicht treu sein instead as you return to the Main.
Viel Spaß.

Oh ? ok, if you don’t mind a really bad singer I know both those songs by heart, in German. Ready? Then off I go...
Oh du wunderschönen Deutsche Rhein... tra la la la

Der Goldene Delfin is now on its way towards Russelheim am Main.

Thank you.

Actually we are only going to be on the Rhine for about a kilometre, then we are due to proceed along the river Main.

Yet as Der Goldene Delfin is on the Rhine at the moment, here is a link to some music about the Rhine.

Oh the Rhine is very beautiful, all those centuries old castles high on the vine laden hills as you sail by, wonderful wine villages to stop and visit (be advised German dry white is slightly sweeter than we are used to,). Enjoy the trip.

Monday morning.

Our custom virtual cruise ship Der goldene Delfin is waiting on the river Rhine for us to arrive.

Quite a few interesting castle around there that I wouldn't mind having a look at. Hochster Schloss looks particularly interesting.

A shore excursion can be arranged.

Best way to travel MissAdventure! No queues, no risk of covid infections and no squabbling about face masks! Perfecto!

Those stone blocks.

The image on the final one, I thought I had seen that one before somewhere, but I could not place it.

I made a guess, and I think I have found it.

Cruise participants might like to think about it before clicking the link below.

I'm happy to sit at home and be transported anywhere to have a look.

We stayed in the world's most uncomfortable tent alongside the Rhine.
My mum woke me up in the night, after I'd finally dropped off, because she could feel something furry on her head.

I shone the torch, and it was a cat all curled up on her head.
She looked like Davey Crockett!
