Postcard from Germany
We're back from a tour of the middle Rhine area, having travelled there by train and then making a base for ourselves at Boppard, just south of Koblenz. We had a lovely time exploring the beauty of the area, thanks to the local tourist tax of 1.50 Euros per night giving us the freedom of local buses and trains, plus free entry to the informative local museum.
On our final day we headed upstream to the small town of Bacharach, a former capital of the region and full of old timber framed houses like those you can see in the above photo. It was also festival time, with the streets bedecked with colourful flags and other decorations, the central one giving a clue to us being in the heart of the wine making area, with vineyards stretching impossibly steeply up the valleys either side of the river. No wonder wine production continues to be mainly by hand in this area.
We could see the first hints of autumn* along the river valley, though daytime temperatures and sunlight were distinctly summertime. Now we're home it definitely looks and feels even more autumnal, how's the season with you?
* I was surprised the trees of the region were mainly broadleaf, for some reason I'd expected evergreens.
