My Dad and Aunt Penny came for a fun filled five week trip to our house, we had so many fun things in store for us but the first thing that we did was take a river cruise down the Rhein River to see the castles.
We grabbed some lunch while we waited for our boat to get back, and my Dad the flirt that he is, was talking up the cute little waitress the entire time.
We saw so many beautiful castles, most of them are now bed and breakfasts or castles although there were a couple that are privately owned and lived in.
Most were built high on the mountain of course, but there were a couple that were on islands. A lot of them were either built or restored by Neapolitan.
This one still has a pretty good size section of a Roman wall surrounding it.
This little white one was on a small island, called the mouses tour. It is said that a counselor or someone with status had their home invaded by mice so he swam over to this castle and locked himself inside to get away from them. Unfortunately the mice followed him and ate him before he could get away.
