Rhine Gorge and Rudesheim

Yesterday morning we sailed on toward Rudesheim. On the way, we passed several castles and more beautiful scenery.

At mileage 555 we passed the legendary location of Lorelei Rock. There is a song related to this as well as an interesting tale. Check it out on Google.
Around 1PM we arrived in Rudesheim, the location of Siegfred’s Mechanical Music Instrument museum and, of course, the famous Rudesheim coffee which has a lot of brandy in it.
You can check out a video of one of these mechanical instruments in action by going to this You Tube link:
Jane sampled the delicious coffee after we had gone up the cable car to see view the river vista below.
You don’t want to have too many of these coffees because the crowded sidewalks are pretty narrow and difficult navigate even when you’re sober.
