Mainz

The German idea of a moderate walk is quite different from the North American one. The small village of Mainz has a castle (as they pretty much all do) at the top of a high hill. The guide we get today (the ship is divided into 5 groups) surveyed us about going to the top of the hill to visit the castle. We are assured that the walk is moderate. Ha! It was great to make our way up there, but a few of us have mobility issues for whom the journey was tough. The guide was terrific despite this cultural misunderstanding.

The rest of the day was sailing. This means very little happens other than sleeping, reading, drinking and watching TV.
