Thursday 9th June Rhine River Gorge - Rudseheim
Up early this morning so we can be on deck for the start of the scenic crusing through the famous castellated Rhine Gorge on the Rhine River. Commentary by Bartel Cruise Manager. Very cold morning cloudy but it cleared up during the morning. Arrived in Rudesheim about 1pm, took the Choo-Choo train to Siegfried’s Music Cabinet. Most interesting to see all the old instruments that have been restored and now working. We then visited the Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas Shop got ourselves a few decorations. Took the Seilbahn Cable Car to the Niederwald Monument with a great view over the city and River below. Next stop was the Rudesheimer Kaffee to try the famous "Rudesheimer Coffee". Put 3 cubes of sugar in the cup and pour over 4cl well-heated Asbach (Brandy) and light. Stir and allow to burn for about one minute. Pour in hot coffee and fill to about 2cm below the rim. Place a scoop of sweetened whipped cream on top and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate. We shared one and I must say it was very nice. Back on board by 3.45pm a couple of passengers got the wrong time so our departure was delayed by 30 minutes. Shipo is sailing overnight on the Main River to Miltenberg. Evening Entertainment in the lounge by the group "Pitchwork". A Female Vocalist who also played the Flute, Picollo and Pan Flute, Male vocalist/Guitarist and Male vocalist with Piano Accordion. A good mix of music, some dancing a good night.
