2017 Rhine Cruise

We decided to wait until the trip left before we went ashore but, don't know why, it left 45 minutes late so we were also late leaving. This gave us not enough time to really "do" the town (we're not as quick as we were) and we missed quite a lot of it, especially the Rhein Gate because we approached the town from one end and didn't go through it! Anyway, we started at the end of the Round Tower and the Cathedral of Maria which was excellent

Interior of Cathedral

Took a slow meander around the edge of the town and back into the centre seeing the Old Town Hall and the statue of the Baker Boys

Legend has it that people of Linz were trying to attack Andernach while the locals slept (even the watchman) but two baker boys delivering bread heard them and, it being too late to sound the alarm bombarded them with beehives (which, luckily, were kept by the nightwatchman). The day was saved! (Note the beehives under the boys).
