We jinxed ourselves by packing away the cold weather gear. The weather has changed again, mainly dry but a definite chill in the air. Uneventful drive from Remich to Koblenz, although we did pass through another border checkpoint after entering Germany. Arrived at the site to a queue of caravans/motorhomes waiting to “get in”. Luckily about half of the site had left or was in the process of leaving, so we were able to check in for 2 nights. To date this was the most expensive site we have stayed on, however it was worth it to be within walking distance of Koblenz. We spent the following day exploring & took a 2 hour Rhine cruise, to see beyond the city. Nice compact city & was very taken with the massive monument dedicated to German Emperor William I of Germany at German corner, the confluence of the Rhine & Moselle rivers. We saw several UK registered vans at the site, the first in about 3 weeks. All too soon it was time to leave & opted to drive down the Rhine to see a little bit more of the area. We had planned a quick stop in Boppard. Happily enjoying the views & following the Satnav, we were instructed to bear off right & take the ferry across the Rhine! No way were we going to get the van on there! Fortunately there was a parking area, so we abandoned the van & took the ferry across on foot. Nice place but very very quiet, most of the river cruise boats that day weren’t stopping at Boppard. Would imagine it would be incredibly busy in the summer months. We had a quick wander round, visited the Carmelite & Roman Catholic Churches. A cuppa & sweet treat in the town square before we caught the ferry back over & continued on our way.
