Nearing the End of the Road

We have arrived at our hotel near the Frankfurt Airport and are very sad to have seen the beautiful Mittelrhein disappear from the train window.  As usual, the US is best in many things especially wifi which sucks in Europe.  Bacharach was fabulous and we recommend a visit to everyone.  Tomorrow when we're in Long Island we will finally add some great photos.  I got some great ones from my hike high above the city.  So, until next time, peace and all good.

Last day in Bacharach

Well folks, if we had wifi as in the US you would be seeing photos of fantastic views high above the city.  We had a good day with some shopping and, of course, eating.  In the morning we hiked to the castle which you can see on Facebook.  It was a bit more difficult than described but we managed and returned by a road.  In the afternoon Jim went on a long hike partially along the old city walls and then up through the vineyards above the city and the castle.  When we are at the hotel at Frankfurt airport we'll try to add the photos.  On to New York Saturday.

Rhein Cruise to St. Goar

After a rainy train ride, we arrived in Bacharach.  Our place up from the town was a pleasant surprise,    big bedroom, living room and kitchen for very little.  On Wednesday we took a cruise down the Rhein to St. Goar, a story book town.  Walked up to the castle for some spectacular views which I can't seem to load due to slow wifi.   I'll try to add some to Facebook.
