I thought of that while riding my bicycle.

Koblenz

Another rest day?  I'm spoiling myself this summer!  The Moselle has joined the Rhine and the planned part of my travels is done. Next I'll be following the Rhine, although Cologne has been on my list for a long time, the Rhine hasn't. But I've done the beginning and the end so I might as well do the middle.  It should be well signed and relatively flat and it goes in the right direction.  



After a decent night's sleep in a rather sweltering hotel - it might have been hot but at least it was quiet, I've been on a lot of noisy sites - I had a slow morning. 





I did some washing, sorted through my bags and obviously had a bit of a knit. When I got hungry I decided I might as well go and explore. 




Koblenz, interesting as it is, isn't packed with must see sight seeing opportunities. This is a pleasant change and provides a chance to just relax. I wandered through the Aldstadt and mooched in and out of shops. I stopped for coffee and a sandwich where looked round a church or two and generally explored.


 

Sneaky peak at the Rhine before setting off along it tomorrow 


Once I'd had my fill (by which I mean I'd got too hot) I headed along the Rhine, past the castle and back to my hotel.
