We had a late start & last of the cheese loading. Once we had breakfast we set off to look at the Gutenburg Museum.
But on the way we poked our heads into this super ornate baroque style church. Just amazing.

| The facade of St Peter's |
 |
| Public vegetable gardens in the centre of town - love it! |

In
the main square was fresh food markets - too bad we couldn't carry too
much, I did buy a few fresh German peaches - delicious!!

Bye bye Rhine, it was nice meeting you and exploring your banks....

I was bathed & in bed by 3:30pm.
We watched a couple of football matches & crashed....
Overall we had a fabulous time ....
Just one flat & one pedal malfunction, a few scratches, a bit of sun burn, a pair of lost gloves & some fabulous scenery ...
