Cochem 22 Oct 15

A busy days touring heading up the Rhine, passing through Oberwessel (where we managed to obtain one of those magic parking clock cards),  St Goar and Loreley and then attempting to get to the junction of the Rhine and the Moselle at Koblenz but finding the roads closed and all sorts of confusing directions, so we turned left and started to follow the Moselle.

The Moselle is very pretty indeed and the autumn colours made it even more spectacular. It was a pity that the weather started to close in, dulling the scene considerably.  Finally we arrived at Cochem as the rain started and parked on the site Mosel Camping Cochem, which we found to be a pretty miserable place with loads of vehicles parked up nose to tail on muddy pitches. I suppose it would be much nicer in sunnier weather. We then splodged into Cochem, wandered around this very pretty town (despite the rain) and found ourselves in a family restaurant where we had a fit of the giggles when they played Gompe's version of Living next door to Alice - with the kids at the next table singing along to ALL the lyrics.
