<p>Good Morning Diners!</p> <p>I hope you all got a good night´s rest, after the many [B] and the hearty food we enjoyed yesterday here in Cologne.</p> <p>Our today´s boat trip will take us to Königswinter, where we mount the Drachenfels cog railway to take us up to the Dragon´s Rock mountain. This is the place where Siegfried supposedly killed the dragon to make him immortal. Those of you who dig opera know Wagner´s "Ring der Nibelungen". Heavy stuff, but good music.</p> <p><img src="http://p4.focus.de/img/gen/l/h/HBlhxJ24_Pxgen_r_1100xA.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>I have not been up there since 1963 [:-^]</p> <p>After hiking down the mountain, we will re-board the boat to take us to Rüdesheim.</p> <p><img src="http://ruedesheim-zimmer.de/images/ruedesheim_520.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>We will have left the beer country and entered into wine country by then. Along our way, please enjoy such beautiful vistas like the ones following.</p> <p><img src="http://hirzenach-insider.de/Burgen-Mittelrhein/Linke Rheinseite/mauseturm_a.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.am-schloss-biebrich.de/images/kaub333.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>We will also pass by the famous Loreley Rock.</p> <p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Loreley_rhine_valley_wp_d_schmidt_08_07.jpg/800px-Loreley_rhine_valley_wp_d_schmidt_08_07.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>and, for those interested in WW II history, the infamous Remagen bridge.</p> <p><img src="http://www.nrhz.de/flyer/media/12778/bruecke_01.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.magellanworld.net/deutschland_sightseeing_bruecke_remagen7.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Enjoy your day!</p>
