Saturday 10th September Another day of wall to wall sunshine. My I-Spy book of Top Ten German Castles lists two good examples just over the hills and in the Mosel valley so we let Stella plan a route and then…

Alright Geyser
Friday 9th September Another hot sunny day. Following our little tour guide we headed off to the old town of Andernach. Next to our stellplatz is the Bastion, built in 1659 and as far as we can make out is…
