Starting in Bingen

German trains have special carriages for bikes. Unfortunately it took us a while to find the correct carriage on the first train we boarded in Cologne. It also turned out to be a bad day for the local train operators. There had been a slip on the track along one side of the Rhine, so this put more pressure on the trains on the other side of the river. Then the second train we caught broke down. So we got to Bingen a bit later than expected, but this was good time to catch up with Dagmar and Bruce who we hadn't seen in over two years...

Here we are setting off on our big adventure, leaving Bingen and heading north.


The Gastehaus (B&B) we stayed at the first night. It was run by a typical german Oma!
