Enjoyed a guided tour around Koblenz today, including paying a visit to three different churches. After the tour and lunch, I boarded the cable car up to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, a marvellous attraction steeped in history.

Four portrait shots of the Niederwald Monument, erected to commemorate Germany’s unification in 1871; though not completed until 1883. What a structure!

A quick evening stroll around Boppard.

Now here’s an example of a German freight train running through Rüdesheim; there’s so many that run alongside the Rhine on both sides!

A lovely river cruise along the Rhine from Boppard to Rüdesheim onboard a steam paddler! An overall steady and wonderful voyage with lots of castles and other views to look out for.

A Frankfurt-bound service departing Boppard Hauptbahnhof (That’s German for railway station)

Today’s trip to Cochem, where I first walked up to Reichsburg Castle where I took part in an English guided tour around the castle. After that tour I went for a walk along the river Mosel both sides before taking the train back.

The Ebertor Hotel in Boppard, my base for the next six nights.

Two hour stopover at Brussels before catching a train to Cologne.

A charming day out at Whitstable for the Peter Cushing event hosted by the amazing @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social team. We’ve had such lovely weather for our walk; always a pleasure to pass by the house where Cushing lived. Also watched Hammer’s ‘The Mummy’ during the lunch break, a true classic.
