Today was our first day on the Autobahn driving a Mercedes~ Oh yeah baby! I was going 140 km/h! Yes, everyone was passing me! This is day 2 that we are very thankful for the GPS. Other things we are most thankful for are FREE... toilets, internet, water and parking! They are very hard to come by in Germany!
Our first stop along the Rhine River was Bacharach. This is a quaint little village with the oldest half timber house in town (built in 1368). One of the most amazing sights was the wine vineyards along the mountainside. We hiked "Cardiac Mountain" to visit the Stahleck Castle. It was very impressive from the outside, but it was made into a youth hostel in 1926... so we couldn't go inside. :(
A little further up the Rhine we stopped in St. Goar. We found the deal of the century... a hotel with free wi-fi!!!! Well, almost free... Karen has to run over to the wall to turn the lights on out here in the hallway where we can get reception. Oh, yes, we are learning a LOT! So, don't believe everything you read in a tour guide book~
Tomorrow we off to see the Rheinfels Castle and the Burgermeister... Guten tag from Germany. Don't know when we will have internet access again... so stay tuned!
Love and miss you all~
Debbie and Karen
