This was the last of France now we entering Germany. We are on the way to Worms. A lovely little place on the Rhine. We also choose this place for it was close to Family in Saarland. So much time we have not to stay there as well so Worms being so close was the best place to do all those things. We made a last stop in France at a bakery that also had coffee. A place to sit down and relax for we knew the next stop might not eventuate at all and we were right. Everybody started their holiday this weekend. It was chaos on the roads.

Anyway we. arrived at the old Rudeshaus, sort of B&B at 6.30 What was nice it had a restaurant with it

There was wine tasting going on and lots of people walked around with wine glasses but al in orderly fashion. We did not take part but tried again an ice coffee even in Germany not very successful. What made it good was it was cold. Next day was Family day. We travelled 130 kilometres this time on very quiet toads, Sunday and people were in bed. to Neuenkirchen where the Family was waiting for us with all sorts of cakes and coffee. Later other Families from further away came as well it became a small reunion and that was nice. We left
