... push bike.

The follow day we expolored the town more, revealing something different to discover around each corner.

Leaving Brugge today we headed to Cologne to vist the Cathederal. The drive did not take long when you can sit on 150kph and still get passed.
The Koln Cathederal is absolutley breathtaking. It is an enormus structure. The inside is just as amazing. Pictures cannot ...

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.

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...

... fries are all extra). The Mexican restaurant only had a couple of Mexican dishes on the menu, and even I can mix a better Mojito.

The hotel is almost always full and the drivers are always busy they operate a regular service from 4am to 10am and reception is open 4:30am to 1am everyday.

We took the Bohr/Ryanair shuttle to Frankfurt en Main. (16€ return) a two hour trip along a road that is being ...

... drenched by the time we got back, so needless to say it was time for another glass of wine!
Our last day we spent exploring our little town, which is just starting to close up for the winter months, not to mention its harvest season so everyone who actually lives there is busy more important things! We even ventured across the river to Kaub, another cute medieval town.
Then we boarded another train to head to the airport... and off to Barcelona!

... The waiter was actually the owner and he spoke English so we chatted a little and I watched soccer on the TV and also some spiked hair punks cause a scene and the police came and that was about it. So it was nice few drink layover in Koblentz. Back on the train to Bremen and on to Finland!!

... the fireworks rockets.

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.

Then the fireworks start. On this Saturday, 19.09.2009 in St. Goars, the event ...

Straight from finishing work with COLT, I went to V festival. No pics, and you can get stories directly, but I then flew straight out on Monday to meet Philip, Lawrence and Elias in Germany to catch up on Philip's stag do. The plan is a week-long tour through Epernay & Reims France (I missed that bit), Köln, Kerpen, Nürberg etc through ...

... no sun and high humidity, the evaporative cooling of my damp towel is gone. We meet back in the square where the Pantheon is to begin a walking tour guided by Jennifer (our tour guide). We stop at a few spots that my heat addeled brain doesn't register. Our primary goal is the Trevi fountain made famous, in part, by the song "three coins in the fountain". Each coin represents a wish: One for luck. One for love.. One for a return to Rome. I replace the third one with a wish for ...

... learned that the half-timber houses (the ones that have wood on the second floors and cement on the first floors) were constructed that way to save tax money...they only had to pay for the building that was in contact with the ground, so the timber stories were cheap and tax-free. The Hauptmarkt was created in 1485, and rebuilt after WWII in the old style. A fountain honoring St. Peter was created in 1590, and shows four women depicting the 4 major virtues. We got to ...
