Day 10: Mainz and Heidelberg

As usual, another early morning walking tour in Mainz and a visit tot the Gutenberg Museum where the moveable type printing press was invented. Today was a beautiful sunny day and the warmest weather we have had—up to 60 today!   Back to the boat for lunch then coaches took us to Heidleberg Castle for a wonderful tour and free time in town.
