We had planned to get out early and explore the town, but it was 8.30am by the time we got away and already hot.

Koblenz is where the Rhine river meets the Moselle, so we visited there first, snapped some photos of the Deutches Eck statue, and continued on around the town. There’s a gondala that you can take across the river to the other side, but we didn’t do this. I anyone does find themselves in this town wanting to do this, make sure you catch the number 17 gondola as it has a glass bottom.

We wandered, found a decent coffee at an Italian place (well, decent for Germany) snapped a few more photos around the town, then headed back to our hotel for a mid morning nap. We woke up at 1.30pm and headed back out for food. It’s so HOT still, we are very pleased for our hotel room. We grabbed a salad from the supermarket then scurried back to the relief of the hotel room where I got some video editing done, and Mike slept some more.

For dinner, we ate out at an Italian restaurant but it was very average. Think I’ll stick with schnitzel while in Germany.

Back on the bikes tomorrow. We’ve cycled over 2000 kms so far.
