Bingen and Rhine cruise

Rosemary bonded with a german lady who married a chap from Portsmouth and had lived in Hinckley for six years. This platz had electricity and water on every platz, bread available to order and an ice cream van visits. Some people stay here for weeks on end apparently - 7.5 euro per night with electricity!

We walked the 2 miles into Bingen in order to find a cruise up the Rhine. We managed to get half price pensioners rates on a 5 hour afternoon round trip on a 900 seater cruise boat as far as the famous Loreley rock, passing all the castles and landmarks we had driven past. They do look much better from the water. It was a very hot day so we did not spend too much time on the open top deck. It was much cooler walking back and we arrived back just before dark.
