This morning we awake in the city of Cochem, a quaint town on the Mosel River. It's claim to fame is the magnificent Reichsburg Castle. This glorious castle sits above the town over looking the Mosel River, majestic and noble. Louis Ravena dedicated 10 years to restoring the castle and unfortunately he died 2 years after it's completion at the young age of 56.
This is a charming town with narrow cobbled streets lined with quaint shops. The ladies enjoyed their free time here browsing in the shops. Shoes seemed to be the most popular item here. The weather is a little cooler. A typical spring day , bright and crisp with a little rain.
We returned to the boat by 12:30pm to enjoy a fine lunch and an afternoon of relaxation and cruising along enjoying the scenery. The piano player is serenading us with lovely music as we take in the beauty of the Mosel river. The banks of the river are lined with vineyards which line the steep slopes.
This afternoon we had a private scarf tying party in the back lounge. Dixie taught us the many ways to tie a scarf. This evening we arrived in the dining room looking elegant in our finest attire topped off with a fabulous scarf. Many compliments were given to the beautiful Canadian women.
