We are on the Rhein and so happy to be back in Europe! . Today, we left for Rüdesheim, after spending two nights in Mainz. It was only a 30 km trip along the Rhein. There is much more traffic on the water now and the hillsides are covered with vines. It was cloudy when we left at 10 am and sprinkled on us a bit but, not enough to put on our rain gear. Rüdesheim is a hot tourist spot with river cruise ships making it a port of call. The campground excellent! It's not high season yet so, the nights stay 19 euros vs. 24 euros. The facilities are the best and our campsite is right on the river. We are sitting now watching the geese, swan and other fowl feed on the shore.
