Biking Trip

---

I will write this from the start of our biking trip in very short form three days each blog if you really want to know more in detail then you can contact me when I get home and you can look at my diary.


Wednesday the 8th of July Distance 73km Time 5 hours

We woke up at 6 45 and took the train to Trier and saw the Porta Nigra and the weather was very cold and what a start.
We stopped at Neumagen which is a famous wine making village.
We carried on to Bernkastel Kues and walked down the beautiful old streets and I remembered some of the shops. A lady happened to give us a pamphlet for a place to stay which wasnt far away.
It was very nice and simple and very cosy.


Thursday the 9th of July 2009 Distance 62km Time 4 hours 30 minuets

We biked to Rachting where Gerd my uncle had sang the night before and rang mum and the boysand talked to her for 49 minuets which was very nice.
Stopped at Zell for a delicous Veitnamese curry stopped for an icecream that cost 2,20€ for both.
Found a place in Pottersdorf because it looked as if it was going to rain.


Friday the 10th of July Distance 88.5 Time 5 hours 20 minuets

WE biked to Cochem (where MArk ******* it up) adn we walked through the beautiful old streets.
We arrived at Hatzenport and biked under a massive motorway that was really freaky hearing the trucks and cars above. As we trudged on thing started to get a bit more boring with less vineyards and villages. We finally reached Koblenz at 2 oclock adn went to the Deutsches Eck which is where the Mosel meets the Rhine. the weather was really windy and the whole city looked pretty dull and boring and everything looked grey and the same. We carried on to Boppard where there was lots of people and there was lots of flowers (Thought of you Nan) and lovely old wooden buildings.
