THE RHINE from MAINZ to KOBLENZ |
We traveled from Mainz up to St Goar by bus, then cruised to Boppard before taking the bus to Koblenz. After lunch we crossed the Rhine and returned to Mainz via the narrow streets of Rüdesheim and the Germania monument. There were dozens of Castles all around the Rhine.
