Inside The Castle Walls

            Today I woke up at 8:00 and went downstairs for breakfast. For breakfast I had bread with jam and butter. Then we took our bags and stumbled back down the 350 stairs of our hotel, to go to the village below. ( By the way we stayed at a castle on top a hill. ) Once we got to the village we dropped our bags off at our new hotel and the we walked to the ferry that we were going to take to Braubach. We sat on the deck and looked out on the famous Rhine River. Along the way we passed plenty of beautiful castles. Some sat high on hills, some sitting low on the water, and others just on the banks of the river. They had a Subway on the boat so that's where we had lunch. Finally, we got to Braubach. We walked around eventually finding a train we took to St. Goar. 
              At St. Goar, we visited the Rheinfels Castle. It was mostly broken, and every once in a a while you'd see a dark deep hole so you could go in the and wander around in complete darkness. So cool! Tara hates it, I think she's just afraid of the dark. Sometimes you'll find a rock shaped like a bone. So when you say " Skeleton! " she freaks. I'm such a nice sister :)  
               After the castle we went to the town to shop. We found somthing interesting called Children's wine. It was really good, luckily it was onley grape juice. We ate a dinner of brauts, by the way they are famous for it. We headed back on a train and snuggled in our new beds. Miss you all!
