Cruisin' on the River II -- Rhine Scenery

The route for our cruise was from Amsterdam (on the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal), to the Rhine river, which we followed until Mainz, where we joined the Main River. We continued up the Main to the Main-Danube Canal, then on to Rhine, where we proceeded downriver to Vienna.

In the process, we negotiated the 166 locks on this route -- going ever upward on the Rhine and the Main and the two canals. On the Rhine the locks took us down, as we were proceeding downriver.

The scenery along all the rivers and canals was beautiful (except, of course, for the industrial areas). To see some of the spectacular sights along the Rhine, visit: http://chuck.smugmug.com/gallery/762526/1/33675490
