Up early and packed and ready to go...

Breakfast in a wee bakery in the main square...


...and onto the road, commencing our trip up the banks of the Mosel towards Koblenz...


The mist soon lifted...



Many castles and churches were passed and the river itself was criss-crossed innumerable times...





Cochem is a lovely wee town but we had no time to stop...





Onwards...











We negotiated our way through the centre of Koblenz, over the Rhine and along its banks, followed by some Autobahn driving, which is pretty hairy and stressful, especially in a Fiat Cinquecento, before we finally halted in Marburg for lunch...


Mmmm, Auflauf - despite Anne having ordered a tuna baguette...


A wee look around the old town...









A CD was purchased in the same shop from which Count Brodski and I made purchases five years ago...

Some Hat Hut jazz for just three of your European Euros...

Back to the car park...





...and onwards, northwards...





Our directions had been put together rather quickly last Sunday at Crispycat Towers and were a little bit sketchy...


Nonetheless...








...after a bit of a detour along a farmer's track...


...and the following of tractors through the back roads of Hessen...





...we eventually arrived at our old chum Jorg Sonnenschein's place...






We were introduced to his new partner Manuella and off we went for some provision shopping, followed by some cooking and an excellent dinner, in the company of our Godson Ansem...













Great to be back in Gensungen...

Highlight of the Day : Finally arriving at Jorg's...
