Some more photos

1. Marksburg Castle - way up on a rock outcrop we visited yesterday but seen from down on the river - we took stacks of photos here - hope ELijah and Ashley will be captured by them


2. The original castle where the winery was established. The people lived in this castle which is different from all the others we've seen. They are on cliffs, this is surrounded by a lake with its drawbridge.



3. The Loreley Rock - a very sharp bend int the Rhine river - legend has it that a mermaid sat on the top of the rock with long hair and a beatufiul enchanting voice and she would sing causing the sailors to look up at her and consequently would come to grief on the rocks and the turbulance of the waters. The river usually is only about 2-3 metres deep on average but here it is 30 metres. and is at is narrowest.
