A cruise on the Main River from Nuremberg to Frankfurt Germany from December 19-26, 2016
I got an offer from Uniworld that I could not refuse. The cruise fare was cheaper then the airfare.
December 18-19, 2016 - Frankfurt, Germany
I arrived in Frankfut a day early and walked through their Christmas Market. I didn't realize that almost every city in Europe has these markets leading up to Christmas.

I was lucky that the exchange rate to euros was still low, about $1.04

December 20, 2016 - Nuremberg, Germany
In the morning I took a city tour and then visited the Christmas Market. We did pass the famous Nuremberg Courthouse where the WWII trials were held. I was shocked to hear how few were punished.

December 21, 2016 - Bamberg, Germany

December 22, 2016 - Rothenburg, Germany
Today we docked in Kitzingan, Germany and took a motor coach to Rothenburg, where we spent the entire day. This is a preserved walled medieval city. We returned to the ship in Wurzburg.

December 23, 2016 - Wurzburg, Germany
We started our tour at the Wurzburg Residence, which was completely destroyed during WWII. Millions were spent to reconstruct the building. Most of the furnishings had been hidden during the war.

December 24, 2016 - Wertheim, Germany
No more Christmas Markets, yesterday was the final sale.
Here is a leaning tower in Wertheim. I guess my picture made it worse.
The original entrance door was on the left, but the street was raised due to flooding.

The cruise ended in Frankfurt, but I did take a walking tour of the city.
