Tales from the Riverbank

 

The day began with a delicious breakfast at 7.30am ......

.......followed by a brisk walk down to the promenade to board the boat for our river cruise.

The weather was cloudy but warm as we cruised along spotting castles galore and steep vineyards.

We sat on the top deck.

Students have been given information folders with quizzes to complete...

.... And this occupied many of them as we sailed along.

Many photo opportunities presented themselves...

... Castles on most bends....

... And of course the inevitable selfies...

We disembarked at St Goarshausen and boarded our coach for the short drive to Rudesheim.

First stop was Siegried's Musikkabinett, a world famous collection of automated instruments.

Zachary loved it.

Alfie sat on a musical chair.....

....and Lewis became an organ grinder.

Purchases were made.

8C boys send greetings to their classmates!

 

Students explored the town and made various purchases.

....before boarding a cable car to take them up to the Denkmal.

 

The view was lovely.

After a leisurely walk across the top through the woods we boarded a chair lift to take us back down to our coach which was waiting in Assmannshausen.

Frau Collins went down first so that she could take photographs. Here are just a few.....

We headed back to the hotel for a delicious meal of soup, salad, frikadellen, rice and vegetables followed by chocolate dessert.

A stroll into town afterwards for our first and hopefully not last visit to the ice cream parlour.

 

Hugo spotted this on the way!

Amazing ice creams ahead....

The day ended with a friendly game of Uno on the balcony.

Phantasialand tomorrow!
