Rest day

When we finally got out of our sleeping bags we walked to the center of town and found nothing, this place is small but it also means its quiet.

Took advantage of the day off and ate good and just relax for the day.

The original plan for the coming days was to make our way to Koblenz than follow the Rhine back towards home.

But, after checking the weather forecast (online) we saw that there was this nasty low coming in and it would bring 3 bad days(heavy rain with low temperatures), 1 good (meaning cloudy but dry) and another 4 bad, starting on Sunday.

Well it didn't take long to change our plans, tomorrow being Saturday we would ride to Koblenz check out the city and on Sunday take the train to Aachen, Germany and ride the last 35kms to Maastricht.

Left to Right: 1- Our setup in Treis-Karden. 2- Picnic lunch, Monique got a roast chicken and I got a pigs leg along with a farmers salad, cherry tomatoes, a French loaf and a local red to wash it down with ;-)

3&4- Mama duck herding her little ones along after seeing Monique tear into that chicken :-))
