Day 5 Koblenz to middle Rhine

Today we sailed in to Koblenz which means confulence or according to the Romans who first settled it a place where three rivers meet. We are going to visit a castle today the only one on the Rhine not destroyed during WWII so it is still in its original state After our tour and lunch we sail all afternoon along the Rhine to meet up with the Mein river and start a journey through 68 locks which raises the ship from sea level to 1149 ft. and then back down to sea level on the Danube. This afternoon as we sail towards the mein we pass over 30 castles. I will let the photos do the talking.

Two brother castles separate castles as they were finding over an inheritance.
