Trierer Hof Koblenz

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

... 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.<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>

... 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!!

... 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.

... I made it back to Cochem it was lunchtime and I was kind of mad that I&#8217;d spent so much time to go to Burg Katz. I kind of didn&#8217;t feel like doing anything else for the rest of the day, but I knew I&#8217;d regret it if I didn&#8217;t at least go see Cochem. <br><br>So I walked to the main square, which was very pretty with half-timbered buildings. But the city itself felt too big. There were a bunch of retail stores and lots of ...

... supposed to start at 9 p.m. but the actually start was 10 minutes delayed. The roads leading along the rock face into St. Goars were closed about 25 minutes prior to the fireworks. Having arrived by car, there was absolutely no parking space along the shores. But we were lucky. As a result of the road closure, the police approached us and asked us to turn off the engine and park ...

... 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.

... of where they were going <br>  <br>The "river" towns along the route also add color and vitality to the areas with their different architecture and styles.<br><br>The many vineyards including where and how they are located sometimes begs your imagination but are none the less spectacular.<br><br>We were pleased that this part of our cruise was near the end (traveling Budapest  to Amsterdam) rather than the other way as we thought we had already been spoilt with the scenery of the rivers.

... br>We arrived on time and the Köln station is very easy to navigate. Found the rental car agency with no trouble and even used the McClean washroom (&#8364;1!) which was not much fancier than the usual &#8364;0.20 washrooms elsewhere. <br><br>I believe we were upgraded to a Mercedes C-class and walked the 2 blocks to the parking garage to drop off our luggage in the car so we could see the Dom. It is ...
