Mainz, Germany - Day 7

Day 7.  We left Rudesheim at 5 am to head down the river again. At 8 am we arrived in Mainz, just north of Frankfort. In Mainz we did a walking tour of the city. Mainz is the birthplace of Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. We visited 2 churches, one with stained glass windows designed by the famous artist Marc Chagall. We saw the Gutenberg press and the original printed bible. We ran around town looking in shops and bought some pastries and candies local to this region. We had to be back on board by 12:15 to sail at 12:30. The rest of the afternoon was spent aboard ship watching scenery. We left the Rhine river and are now on the Main river. Now till tomorrow we will cruise through a series of 34 locks till we arrive at our destination in the morning of Wertheim. For now they are playing a Liars game on the lounge. For me, read a book and go to bed. Not used to cold, rainy, windy weather. Till tomorrow. Night
