The morning was spent sailing along the beautiful Main River as it wound its way through the Spessart region. We went thru several locks...much smaller than the Panama Canal lock.
Going in to the lock
Gate opening to let the boat out after the water level raised.
This morning we had a glass blowing demonstration by an artesian from Wertheim. This was glass blowing on a much smaller scale than we saw on the Solstice but was interesting. Of course, I had to buy a few little pieces...
After lunch, we stopped in Miltenberg, known for its half-timbered houses, including the oldest inn in Germany. Still cold but thankfully, not windy.
Our guides formed a welcoming committee..

Easter decoration in the town square
Charlie found his cat.
The Inn of the Giant at the Hotel Zum Riesen. Elvis stayed here!!!! Considered Germany's oldest inn.
Good beer and pretzels at the Inn of the Giants.
Gathering to take a bus from Miltenberg to Wertheim to reboard the Aegir.
Waiting in Wertheim for our boat to arrive...it was late to arrive due to lock congestion.
At last she is here!!!!!!!
