Koblenz; Monday, 01 August, 2011

I had an early breakfast and then headed down to the riverside to take another of the tours that operate from the piers on the Rhine. This one took in a small part of the Rhine and the Mosel, so giving a full view of the Deutsches Eck.

After completing the tour I wondered over to the Kastor Basilica to have a look round there, and then went on the old town sightseeing land train.

Then it was time to head back to the hotel, grab my stuff and make my way to the station.

I had left myself nearly an hour to do this, which I thought might have been excessive, but the hotel were having real problems with their computer system and in the end it took nearly 20 minutes to check me out (and charge the €3 for the one beer I’d had in the bar – kind of think was it worth the effort)

Thankfully, I got to the station with about 15 minutes to spare so I didn’t have to run for the train.
