Debbie's 33rd birthday and blue skies!
Just as well we were not going far today, as it took me ages to get loaded up. When I was finally ready, we made a brief stop to say goodbye to the camp-site owner and to check on the location of the ferry that would take us back across the Rhein. Following the eastern side of the Rhein we cycled through Braubach and onwards to the river ferry ramp opposite Boppard. Our timing was good as the ferry was getting ready to depart, so we didn't have long to wait.
After a brief snack stop we continued south through Bad Salzig and onwards to St Goar. The cycle way running beside the Rhein and the B9 was excellent, no getting lost today! With the sun now shining brightly and it getting warm enough to just wear a t-shirt (for me at least, Debs removed at least one layer!) we cycled into the pretty town of St Goar.
The tourist office in St Goar gave us details of a camp-site in the next town of Oberwesel approx 6kms down the road.
The camp-site which we found with ease was basic but lovely, and at only 11 Euros the cheapest for a while.
Pitching our tent right by the Rhein we laid everything out to dry and then headed into Oberwesel to have a look round and get some supplies.
The town is beautiful with many old buildings and steep narrow streets.
Finding a supermarket we bought some steak for Debbie's birthday dinner and then after a quick look round headed back to the camp-site to relax.
Making use of the 2 Euros a day wifi, we caught up on Debbie's birthday messages (thank you everyone!), cooked a lovely meal and finished the day off with a bottle of wine overlooking the Rhein.
