Another ship trip…

The day was so beautiful in Würzburg, we couldn’t resist taking a 90 minute cruise down the Main (and then back up again!). Having become something of a German river cruise expert  of late, I got us on the ship as early as possible to ensure good seats. Soon, all the seats on the upper, open deck were occupied. Early into the voyage, the hazy horizon blended almost perfectly into the river, creating an interesting effect.  The vineyards on the banks of the river were particularly beautiful.These ships have rearview mirrors! That bridge was closer than it appeared.We ended up not needing the lifeboat, although there would have been a hell of a brawl figuring out who got to row it the 20 meters or so to shore.We turned around at a little village the name of which I never discovered. I got a great shot of the dock and Würzburg’s many steeples upon arriving, my favorite of the day.Here’s a little video to give you the experience in motion. I taped the entire trip and will attempt a DVD later this week.
