Cruising the Rhine - Koblenz

Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Today we arrived in Koblenz, a town situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel rivers.  We strolled around the town and took a tram ride up to a Ehrenbreitstein fortress on the hill overlooking the city.  The view was great from up there and the tour of the fortress was interesting.  It's one of the few places that was never burned or bombed by invading forces. There was a group of schoolchildren coming down on the tram as we were going up - they seemed to have enjoyed their field trip despite the cold and windy weather.
