Rudesheim & Boppard

Tuesday, August 19, 2014

I spent my birthday in these two villages in Germany! We started in Rudesheim with a museum tour followed by a wine tasting, and then we had some free time before we boarded the boat again to head to Boppard. During our sailing time, we went by castle after castle, and our cruise director gave us a little history behind each one, which was kind of fun. It was a fun day! However, both of these villages were a little "touristy" for my liking, especially Rudesheim, but they are both nice little day trip sorts of places. 

The stretch of Rudesheim right on the river, filled with restaurants and shops.

A beautiful church we sailed by on our way to Boppard.

One of the many castles we saw on this stretch of the Rhine River.

Such a unique building in Boppard!

A church set next to the river and against the hills of the vineyards.
