Cruising The Rhine: Day 6 – Dusseldorf
Not much to say. On with the photos… And that is all folks. Hope you’ve enjoyed this cycling-cruising ‘adventure’. Normal service will soon be resumed… Advertisements
Cruising The Rhine: Day 6 – Cologne
Here I am in Cologne. Again. I think it’s the most British-like place I’ve ever visited in Germany. Nice, but a bit tatty around the edges. I was last here in 2015 as I cycled from Spain to Norway. You can read my thoughts at the time – […]
Cruising The Rhine: Day 5 – Cycling The Mosel (Well, Part Of It…)
Finally! Some cycling… And not just any cycling. For the first time in my life I have been on an e-Bike on a short ride along the Mosel at Cochem, a place famous for its fairy-tale castle. Great fun was had and this e-Bike sceptic has been converted. […]
Cruising The Rhine: Day 4 – Bernkastel-Kues
The town that keeps on giving. Most places have a nice area and then it stops around the next corner. Bernkastel-Kues just keeps on delivering; every street, every square is more pretty than the previous, and so it goes on… (or so it seems). Chocolate box stuff here […]
Cruising The Rhine: Day 4 – The, Err… Mosel
We’re now on the Mosel in Germany and at 6am this morning it was beautiful…
Cruising The Rhine: Day 3 – Koblenz Miscellanea
There’s no theme to these; just what attracted my eyes as I wandered from ‘German Corner’ where the Rhine meets the Mosel towards the old town. Some you may like, some you may loathe. You’ll be glad I squeezed some bicycles in there… Enjoy!
Cruising The Rhine: Day 3 – Koblenz And The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
A relaxing morning in Koblenz during which nothing bicycle- or cycling-related happened (well, apart from me finding the first EuroVelo 15 sign…). So it’s just the sightseeing today I’m afraid. The Rough Guide didn’t big up the city – “not many attractions” – but I found a sufficient […]
Cruising The Rhine: Day 3 – Arriving In Koblenz
This travel blogging malarkey is hard work; up with the larks, filming, chatting with the captain, watching the world go by. It’s not yet 9am. The street cleaners will sympathise…
Cruising The Rhine: Day 2 – Mannheim And The Search For Baron Karl Von Drais
Mannheim is a fine city with much to commend it. An attractive focal point that is well maintained and popular with epic fountains that keep the kids – and ducks – amused: A busy main thoroughfare with an interesting town centre built – and rebuilt in the post-war […]
Cruising The Rhine: Day 2 – Speyer
I can’t ever remember knowing about the existence of a place called Speyer until it was mentioned in the pre-visit briefing last night. Mannheim, yes. Cologne, of course. Dusseldorf, obviously… but Speyer, never. So this morning’s stroll around “one of Germany’s oldest cities” was nice. A bit like […]
