We had a great nights sleep and woke up and decided to stay another day. Turns out the town we are in is a picturesque fairy tale village so we took a look around this morning. It’s a neat little town with differing shades of chocolate ripple and wonkiness of all shapes and sizes. We marvelled, snapped photos, got some cash out then went back to camp, sat by the river and watched the boats go up and down the Rhine.

It was another crazy hot day of 35 degrees and we were happy to be sitting in the shade on the banks of the river, a gentle breeze doing its best but failing to keep us cool. It was the perfect rest day as we didn’t do anything. And the spot is so picturesque with the river, big hills either side and castles in the hills.

We bought a postcard to send to the kids and I bought one for Dad too, so hopefully he gets it.

I’m writing this at 8.30pm and it’s still really really hot and it’s going to be hotter tomorrow, apparently 38 degrees. So we’re gonna set the alarm for 6am and hope to be away by 7am to beat the heat. We’ve booked an air conditioned hotel in Koblenz as we both need a break from the heat.
