Day 2- Koln, St. Goar, Bacharach, Germany

Jody at the Rheinfel Castle
Koln Cathedral
Day 2- June 24th
Today we rode the train from Mainz to Koln (pronounced cologne in English) to see the Koln Cathedral. It is simply amazing! It is one of those places where I didn't even know where to start taking pictures and the pictures don't do it justice.

After visiting the cathedral, we took the train to St. Goar, a small town along the Rhine river. At St. Goar we went to visit Rheinfels Castle. Compared to some of the other castles we have seen Rheinfels isn't much, but it is still a pretty amazing site with some great views of the Rhine River.

After visiting the castle, we took a river cruise along the Rhine River. As you travel down the Rhine there are small towns and castles on either side, it was a nice relaxing trip. We took the river cruise from St. Goar to Bacharach.

Here is Jody in front of the Koln Cathedral. There were quite a few tourists at the Cathedral.


This is the inside of the cathedral, it had amazing stained glass windows.

Here is Jody on top of the Rheinfels castle, overlooking the Rhine River.

This is the boat we took down the Rhine River.
This is one of the streets in Bachrach. I love this picture because it shows a little bit of the German lifestyle.
