First off stopped at Ruedesheim, went on a small train Siegfried's Mechanical Musical Instruments Museum. It was pretty cool, lots of old Pianolas and other stuff.
After that we strolled the streets and took the chair lift to the top of the mountain. Was pretty cold today but had a great time.
Afterwards we cruised down the Rhine Gorge, there were lots of castles to take photos off along the way.
In the afternoon we were dropped off in Braubach so that we could bus to Marksburg castle. We had a tour of the castle which is the only hill castle on the Rhine that has never been destroyed. It has been lived in for over 700 years. Was amazing inside and we also had a medieval banquet afterwards with even a court jester.
Am now back on the boat ready to head to bed. Another long day tomorrow with a tour of Cologne them the Floriade in the afternoon.

We went into this one shop that had chainmail you could try on, i couldnt even lift it off the ground. Yeah i dont think it would go so well in Townsville, better off with the least amount of clothes not adding to it.
