Today was Castle Day. There were ruined Castles, well kept Castles, even the Castle in the water. But every short distance there was a castle. Generally high about me, but pretty much always there.
Apart from that there was quite a few cycle tourists. Most were ‘day trippers’ but there was also a fair number of long distance cyclists heading northward.
The tour bus tourists were generally huddled together wrapped up against the cool wind and probably glad to get back on their buses.
The weather was cool, breezy and tended to be somewhat hazy so there’s no attention grabbing iconic photos of Castles, just one that look like they were shot thru a misty lens.
Tonight I’m camping at a unique spot just short of Mainz. For the princely sum of 15 Euros, I get a piece of ground (carefully cleaned of goose droppings). There no shower or cooking facilities but it’s right on the Rhine. There’s also a place within 50 metres that has Beer, Pizza and Chips so all is good.
Cheers
