Day 47 - Cruising Rudesheim to Koblenz to Cochem

Tonight we went to the special Portabelo Restaurant on the ship for a six course dinner with wines for every course.  We then staggered to the entertainment area where we thought we could dance like when we were 21.  

Even after Judy was dancing with the instructor and slipped on the floor, we all persevered with dancing and showed the wallflowers that it is ok to have fun at our age.

This morning we explored the very pretty town of Rudesheim, and the afternoon was spent cruising through the spectacular Rhine Gorge.

We are definitely having a lot of fun.


At the Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum in Rudesheim, which houses historical pieces of great interest.

On the way down, overlooking the extensive vineyards along the Rhine Valley.



Rudesheim is renowned for a special version of coffee, which includes lighting brandy with a match followed by coffee, whipped cream, and chopped chocolate.  Calories and cholesterol!!!



Our ship Scenic Jade moored next to Scenic Jewel.  Scenic Jewel was the ship on which we cruised in 2013.
