30 June / 3 July 2018 Camping Sonneneck, Boppard

Difficult journey up to outskirts of Frankfurt, 3 hours and had difficulty in the forests and narrow roads looking for campsite. No phone signal and satnav started playing up so abandoned search and headed for Boppard.

After a five hour travelling day arrived at a very busy campsite but were given a good pitch and have settled in quite well. After a very late lunch got the bikes out and explored the area between here and St. Goar – a 2 hour cycle.

Next day bikes out again and cycled down to Boppard town to get some bread for lunch. Did some washing and removed our fly collection from the front of the van. After lunch cycled up to Rhens.

Monday did a bit of washing then cycled to Koblenz – 40 kms – wow. Stopped at a lovely bar next to the river for a couple of extra large Fantas – we needed it. Had some lunch back at the campsite and after a rest cycled to Boppard, this time only 10 kms. Sat by the Rhein people and boat watching.

Tuesday did some machine washing with all the big stuff then just the short cycle to Boppard for some bread for tea.

28 – 29 June 2018 Camper Berger Cologne

Difficult drive down the motorways are busy and this was an unrestricted speed limit road. Arrived lunch time and cycled down the side of the Rhine into Cologne. Good afternoon looking at the sights it’s so easy cycling as bikes are allowed in the precincts. Got lots of info from passing guides.

Next day cycle again into Cologne for a cycle in the back streets a fab day. Cycled up the side of the Rhine in the afternoon in the other direction, gosh HOT.
