We were so fortunate on Monday to have our own little ship the St. Nikolas to cruise the romantic, castle-filled lower Rhine from Bingen to St. Goar. The weather continued to cycle between sun, clouds and rain as it has since our arrival.
Bacharach - where I stayed Wednesday night - from the middle of the river on Monday.
The Loreley - the mythic rock from which the sirens bedazzled the sailors, actually the area where the Rhine deepens causing powerful currents.

The 70 and over group!
The group in their 50's. I am in the 60's group so I will have to get that picture later.
Yet another great castle!
The two big hotels are over 400 years old.

And then the sun came out to shine on Rudesheim, where Hildegard's second monastery was located (now the parish church from which we processed on Tuesday.
