More river cruising

After an all night 155 km cruise down the main channel we eventually make it onto the Rhine for our final tilt to Amsterdam ,and our first stop today will be at the very beautiful town called Rudesheim. Tom & WADDA head for the gondola ride up to the Niederwald monument some 3hundred mts above the town, while the girls flog the guts out of the master card  . We do not ask or do not see the results of these constant attacks on our plastic family, but all we know is that they are better off without us . As Tom and WADDA do other things to amuse themselves sometimes good sometimes not so good this holiday is fast running out of steam and the real world is awaiting our return . But as the day continues we need to get moving another 86 kms down river to a place called Andernach where we will tie up for the evening, and have dinner with a real princess and listen to someone tickle the ivories on the grand piano. Off to Namedy castle which is not to far out of town, we enter the life of the rich and famous and rather like it while some walk through the garden others rummage through this very old residence. When the gong rings we all converge on the dining room for dinner and a Piano recital, our return to the ship is greeted with a few more late night drinks. It's now bed time.........WADDA
