Schloss Montabaur

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.

... is closed until June 2010. grrrr. But we got our Euro's worth in the rest of the park- we discovered a ride called "City Jets", which is like the Dumbo ride on steroids. The park was so empty that the operator didn't care if we loaded us both into one tiny jet, and used our combined body weight to bounce up and down so hard that we smashed into the ground a few times. Awesome. We also went on Europe's highest sky merry-go-round, but at that ...

... 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.
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 ...

... the WW1 sacrifice of the local reserve infantry division based in the town. It seems a bit sad that the Germans don't remember their war dead as we do in Australia. Yes they were on the losing side and there were atrocities committed (by both sides), but many of the soldiers fought just as bravely as their enemies.

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 ...

... middle of town. So amazing and I see why it was highly recommended in the travel book. The pictures and movies I have do it no justice. Yet after I arrived at Koblenz I had to switch trains for Trier and then traveled down the Mosel to Trier and the Mosel River was just as beautiful with many more vineyards and rolling hills. I really love traveling by train.

... car in the middle of the road. And if we were to leave the car, we should return to the car right after the fireworks in order not to block the road, once it reopened. This made both arrival and departure very easy.

The fireworks cannot be described, but the pictures from my very light sensitive Panasonic digital camera will best give a taste of what one can experience in ...
