Picturesque Germany


TOURING THE RHEINE:

if youre going to travel to Germany i highly suggest doing it in October (when the trees are changing colors in the crisp autumn air and the local peoples are in celebration and holiday spirits) ...and i also recommend taking a boat ride up the Rheine River. its a relaxing way to enjoy the beauty of the western region of Germany. there are several boats and routes to choose from...but whatever you choose i guarantee it will be worth it. there are medieval castles nestled against the mountainsides amongst wine vineyards and colorful trees. it almost feels surreal as you glide along the water in such a picturesque setting. take the time to also get out at the little towns along the way and enjoy a bratwurst and beer and some local traditional music. youll find yourself wanting to sing along (even if you dont know the language or the lyrics). this was a great way to end my time here in Germany.
