Hotel Gulser Weinstube Koblenz

... our GPS get its bearings we headed to Brugge.

Arriving late in the afternoon we checked in at the Ibis (not the best hotel, but it was cheap considering the cost of other hotels). This hotel is located right in the centre of the old town.

Brugge is a step back in time. The old cobbled stone roads, the horse and carts, and the pretty old buildings. The main form of transport in Brugge ...

Short entry this time....

Only here for one night. Got to the hotel saw a couple of shops with beersteins, birkenstocks and clocks. Had dinner and watched some feral women proceed to get ****** and act like idiots in the hotel bar. Some good news though, won 30 euro on the slot machine in the hotel.

One of the guys (we assume it was a guy) even peed in the hotel hallway and our Tour Manager had to clean it up. People can be such animals.

Es ist seltsam, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht.. Wie oft habe ich euch versprochen zu schreiben, anzurufen oder einen blog zu verfassen. Ich denke oft an euch und es ist schön zu wissen, dass es euch genauso geht.

Schon seit fast einem halben Jahr lebe, wohne und atme ich diesen wundervollen ...

Wow St Goar seriously looks like a very typical little German town, it's hard to describe why but when you just look at the little houses you know your in Germany.
Went to wine tasting last night coz the Rhine Valley produces sweet reslings and i like sweet wines but even i was like dude this is hurting my jaw LoL...
kinda wish i was a mum right now coz it seems like we stop for a second and Kylie ...

... Reinfels Ruins, which was once the greatest castle in all of Germany. We even tried to go down to the mine tunnels, crawling underground with just a flashlight to guide the way. Unfortunately we hit one too many dead ends and so we didn´t get too far. Just as we were leaving, the rain started up again. After huddling together for our ¨picnic on the Rhine¨ underneath one of the signal towers, we decided to brave it back to Bacharach. We were ...

This is not a great adventure, more a welcome back.

It is great to be back in Villiprott to visit our old friends since the 70ies. Now I have been staying with them for two weeks and we have done a lot of different things. This part of Germany have many interesting places to visit, both nature and culture.

... potter about the 'Altstadt’, glug goblets in the wine taverns or snap the region’s most renowned tourist hotspot, Deutsches Eck – conveniently translated in my guidebook as ‘German Corner’ as if I didn’t know. Marked by a splendid 14-metre pedestal on which sits a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I on horseback, it’s here that visitors get up close and personal with Germany’s longest river. A European heavyweight as far as rivers go, the Rhine ...

... and Amsterdam in Netherlands. Philip and Lawrence both took their cars over for the tour, with highlight of the Nürbergring racetrack. As they say, what happens on tour stays on tour, but we had a brilliant time. Here's a few pictures and video's from the Germany part of the trip, courtesy of Elias, who had the commonsense to bring a camera.

... to keep food cool and there is a separate area to store salt, which was precious and expensive.

Once we were ready to leave we decided to take the shuttle van up the hill instead of walking. We felt a little lame in there with the older ladies, but I didn’t want to ruin my memory of the castle with a sweaty uphill walk. It cost €1.50 each for the shuttle and was well worth it.

On to Cochem. This is an adorable ...

For Photos Please Visit: http://www.travelpod.com/members/rbruce so it's been some time since the last entry and much has changed. We have decided to separate ways and ride solo for the time being. We have been travelling up the Rhine river since Switzerland. The riverside camping opportunities have been ...
