Koblenz is a large town with light industrial outskirts and an old part where the Mosel meets the Rhine. This is known as German corner and is dominated by the statue of Kaiser Wilhiem mounted on a horse and is a huge monument to German unity (could do with cleaning up a bit!) Most of the Rhine cruise boats stop here so it was very touristy. As it was Friday we had a fish and fried potatoes lunch in a Nordsee restaurant on the main shopping street. Its a good quality fast food chain specialising in fish dishes. Only stopped for a few hours, crossed the Rhine, on one of the big bridges and moved on to an Alan Rogers recommended site at nearby Oberlahnstein for the weekend.
