Churches of Regensburg
I forgot to mention that at Regensburg we saw the first really hot weather of the trip. Until then the weather had ranged from actually raining to partly overcast and cool. Walking around this town we were sweating; but it was … Continue reading
Regensburg
After Nuremberg our next stop was Regensburg, which we approached on the Danube. The town is at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers. We moved out of the Main-Danube Canal into the Danube a couple of hours before … Continue reading

The afternoon of June 22, we toured Nuremberg. Nuremberg has quite a history, going back to the 11th century (see the linked Wikipedia article); but of course what we remember it for today is the huge Nazi rallies that were … Continue reading

Our tour of Miltenberg, a beautifully preserved medieval village on a bend of the Main, began about 15 minutes late, not bad considering how much time we lost getting through the locks. Here’s part of Miltenberg, showing the remains of … Continue reading
The Day of Locks
July 19 was the day we found out about locks – river locks, that is. We had been on the lower and middle Rhine, which have no locks; we went through one lock in the delta, and that was it. … Continue reading
Thoughts About the Cruise
I want to pause in my mad posts of photos, and just discuss the cruise a little. I've been on cruises before, and they're all different. On this one, not only was the ship brand new (this was its first … Continue reading
