Bacarach 21 Oct 15

A short hop along the south bank of the Rhine to Burt Bacarach and a front row pitch at the Stellplatz at Camping Sonnenstrand. We sat for a while watching the huge vessels chug up and down this mighty river before setting out to explore. An interesting town, and well worth the bimble around, plus we scaled the incredibly steep vineyards above the town to admire the views.

Dinner was a very nice Jaegerschnitzel in the campsite restaurant overlooking the Rhine. It was here, however, that we discovered how pigging noisy the Rhine is at night. With a railway line on each side of the river, and massive barges chugging along all night, the sound reverberated in the valley, almost shaking us out of bed.

In the morning it was a quick dash back down the high street as, after a couple of weeks suffering severe withdrawal symptoms, she needed  to buy a pair of shoes!
