GERMANY

Germany is a very beautiful country.  We only saw part of it.  I want to go back some day and check out the areas around Berlin.

We took  a cruise down the Rhine.  It was spectacular and was one of our favorite activities on the trip.  I didn't realize there were so many castles.  Every time we turned around, there was another castle.  Don't worry, I won't bore you with them all.


Cologne Cathedral

This cathedral in Cologne was huge and spectacular.  However, it was so big that we couldn't get back far enough  for a good photo.

Rhine River cruise

Here is the ship we sailed down the river.  We enjoyed the afternoon sun and a German beer  while we checked out a lot of castles, old buildings, and grape farms on the side of the hills.

This castle is famous.  Walt Disney used it as the basis for his designs.  It is called Neuchwanstein Castle, and it is one of Mad King Ludwig's creations.

Here is a little town we visited called Heidelberg.

HEIDELBERG CASTLE

This is the actual Heidleberg Castle.  There sure are a lot of cool old castles in Europe.
 
 

Smart car

There were also a lot of these goofy little cars.  They had a bunch of varieties.  This type seemed the nicest of the small cars.  It is called a Smart car.  I sure wouldn't want to get in an accident in one of them!


Time for a new page.  Continue on to see more of Germany...
