Rhein cruise

Oh man...living the life. In between exams and stress and hw and everything else, we were able to take the day off for a visit to Bingen. We visited the Hildegard museum and then had an amazing lunch right on the Rhein. The morning was cloudy so I was a little worried for our cruise but the sun came out right after lunch and the weather was perfect!! We boarded the boat and grabbed a chair and just relaxed. I was kind of planning on taking a cat nap but when there's a castle every couple hundred feet, sleeping becomes hard. Apparently Germany has 25,000 castles....and we saw about 20 just on our one and half our cruise. It was crazy. Once the cruise was over we made our way to Marksburg (1 of the 25,000 castles in Germany). We got to tour this castle!! It was up on a hill with a beautiful view of the Rhein. Once we made it to the top we grabbed some ice cream and began our tour. Fun fact: this castle was the only castle in Germany to not ever be conquered. Super beautiful castle filled with history. But back to the school world!
