Back on board time was 7:45am at Boppard, and we set sail at 8am to continue our journey through the castle-studded Rhine Valley. The ship had bicycles and walking sticks available to passengers, and some of the passengers chose to bicycle to Koblenz that morning.

Sitting on the top deck, looking at the different castles as we sailed by, made for a very relaxing experience.
 |
| Marksburg Castle - looks like a fairy tale |
 |
| The tram car |
 |
| Inside the fortress |

Coming back - below you can see the town of Koblenz and
the two rivers as they meet. |
 |
| Where the Mosel meets the Rhine |

"The Spitting Boy" is a popular statue
in Koblenz

We stayed in Koblenz until nightfall, then had to sail away.

Back at the ship we have the "Debarkation" briefing, about what we should do before we leave the ship in less than two days. Sigh.
