| Low bridge! |
The captain of our ship referred to the Main
River as a ‘creek’ with innumerable locks that had to be negotiated, keeping
the passengers from enjoying the upper deck most of the time. The Rhine, in
contrast, is a deeper, broader river with a few low bridges that require the
wheelhouse to be lowered, but allowed us to spend our time enjoying the upper
deck. A few times I thought I might be able to touch the bridge girders; they
were just a bit beyond my reach.
