Along the River Rhine

Castle Stahleck

I woke up at 7.30 am and headed down to a breakfast of Tang, toast, cereal, yogurt and a cup of tea. There’s a shuttle bus to the station for 3 euro each. Bargain! Because I was NOT walking up that cobblestone path dragging my suitcase.

The train arrived, and we all piled on — luggage and all. We enjoyed a very pretty journey travelling along the banks of the Moselle River to Koblenz. After changing trains at Koblenz, the scenery became even more breathtaking — with vineyards stretching up the sides of very steep mountains, cute little villages strung out along the river banks, and; of course, the famous castles! Around every bend, there was another. No wonder people pay thousands to cruise down the Rhine! And we are going one better! We are staying in one — Castle Stahleck in Bacharach!
