We said goodbye toĀ beautiful Braubach. We were leaving by train and the train station was pretty tiny and pretty empty! We changed trains in Koblenz and got there early enough to catch an earlier train to Koln (Cologne) so that we wouldn’t have quite such a tight connection in Koln. While waiting for the train…

On the Rhein to Braubach
The day dawned with lovely blue skies; something we had not seen for about a week and perfect for a cruise on the Rhein! We caught the KD ferry and said good bye to Rudesheim. This part of the Rhein River is known for its castles. We saw one after another, after another. Mike thought…

Walking around Munich
We awoke to drizzle in Munich. So we had a late start and went into town on the tram, after a long chat with Sebastian and Jan at the front desk of our hotel. Jan had lived in NZ briefly and was raving about how friendly and nice the people were. š So we arrived…
