... So viel ist schon passiert, so wenig habe ich bisher erlebt. Neue Freunde, eine 2te Familie und ein ganz anderes Leben erwarten mich hier. New York, meine neue Liebe! <br><br>Jetzt, mit mehr Zeit und Muse widme ich mich dem langersehnten Lebenszeichen. :) <br><br>Viel Spaß beim lesen!<br><br>

... are exactly what you picture when you think of a little german town... I bet it´s beautiful here at Christmas. That afternoon, to stay dry, we did some wine tasting. They are famous for their Reisling here and have it in dry (trocken) half dry (halftrocken) and sweet (liebich... maybe). Bacharach has some really good wines.<br>The next morning the sun had come out so we decided to take a bike ride up to the next town, St. Goar. From there, we ...

This is not a great adventure, more a welcome back.<br><br>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.<br>

So well I on my way to Bremen I had a 2 hour stop in Koblentz and it was 11 at night. I wish I could say I went and partied hard but I didn't. I tried, I followed some spot lights in the sky but those were to far to walk to so I just walked around a few blocks and found a dinner/bar and had a few ...

So on the way to Trier, the train traveled right besides the Rhine River. It was AMAZING! The trip between Mantz and Koblenz was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. There were boats just traveling up and down the river and plenty of vineyards on the rolling hills along with river. Also every 4 minutes there was another town and a larger church in ...

... the fireworks rockets. <br><br>The fireworks take place shortly after night fall. First the river boats arrive. At St. Goars, I counted about 50 of these ships. As the night was pitch black, the lights from the boats appeared like little tea lights on the Rhine. That alone was an amazing sight. <br><br>Then the fireworks start. On this Saturday, 19.09.2009 in St. Goars, the event ...

... Florin&#8217;s church at Florinsmarkt, however, are the real gems, dictating and dominating the skyline with their cream and apricot exterior and navy-blue turrets, erected in the early twelfth century. <br><br>As I hop off the Intercity Express (ICE), chugging its way from nearby Cologne to Koblenz Hauptbahnhof (taking in the Unesco World Heritage Rhine valley along the way), it&#8217;s not immediately obvious that I&#8217;m entering a living, breathing history museum. While the ...

... 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.

... track it went by very quickly. Due to the light rain and all the tight curves we didn&#8217;t get going very fast and were passed by a few other cars. We probably averaged 80km/h and got up to 140 on one straight stretch, so no faster than we would normally drive at home, but with all the curves and elevation changes it was quite thrilling. MB was so thrilled and happy when we were done, I&#8217;m glad we got to go on the track. But this is ...

If you have time, just spare approx. one or two hours to explore the countryside of Germany which is quite impressive and peaceful-looking. I remember the time when our bus passed by the rural villages in small towns of Germany and people walking by the streets without haste.
