Wertheim, Main River

It's -2 when we wake up, brr, too cold to sit outside and anyway the sun deck is unavailable for a few days as there are many low bridges ahead. We have a glass blowing demo on board. Kay volunteers to help and is handed a shot glass of jägermeister to lubricate the lungs. Karl (yes Denise same man!) does his magic with the torch and I blow through the pipe as instructed to produce a beautiful glass bauble.
We jump on buses to beat the boat to Wertheim, a small town famous for all sorts of glassware, particularly ampoules and thermometers. The sun emerges briefly then the mist comes back down as we are guided round this lovely village. Its bitterly cold, so hot choc at a warm cafe is very welcome. It's 60's party night tonight.
