Rhine Valley Revisit

A chance stop for a coffee and cake led to an unexpected delight.

The Lorelei Rock. Mr. Turner was here at this exact spot two hundred years ago, in August 1817.

Same, same.  This is narrowest part of the gorge. Must be nerve racking to negotiate in one of those huge liner barges.

Castles all along here, different sizes and designs. Defending who from what?  Stand on the hill above and take pot shots at the inhabitants, couldn't you?
