Write Up Journey to the Limborit 2016

[oldcarman]

Thanks for the Info Dan. I think I'd love a trip to Romania, sounds like my kind of place to visit! You and your wife are finding such interesting places to visit. This trip will be full of memories that will last forever for you both and because of your pics and commentary with me also! JIM

In 2009 when I bought my Zed, I found accidentally on Ebay Germany a crystal Z3; being too enthuziastic, I forgot to ask the seller if he accepts shipment to RO... I won the item but the seller denied shipment to RO. So , I ask a former German colleague to receive the crystal Zed, but never had the chance to recover it...until now, when we met in Marienplatz , drank a beer and here it is :

That's a lovely thing to own @Zeti

I thought so seven years ago and I don't regret it!
Thank you!

On 17 we started from Wurzburg to Heidelberg. Here is Heidelberg:

In case we run out of beer, during Limborit 2016, I will bring this:

or maybe this one?:

In Heidelberg our accommodation was on:

On 18th on the way to Boppard (Rhine Valley), Schwetzinger, a huge "peach" color palace with huge gardens where you can easily spend the whole day:

Speyer, with a huge cathedral but also small traditional houses:

and peaking a little in some local's garages:

Worms, another big cathedral:

On the Rhine Valley we spent four days.
Waiting for the ship I made a friend:

Rhine cruise from Bingen to Koblenz, more than 50 castles.
Here are few of them:

Boppard:

The Rhine is quit high these days, a sort of "Aqua alta" in Venice!

I'm sure I stayed the same place in Heidleberg Dan! Nice place to visit! Keep them coming buddy!! JIM

On separate trips on the Mosel Valley, on scenic roads, we visited Eltz Castle:

and Cochem Castle:

with St Cristopher mosaic:

The lucky mermaid (after we touched her belly , the rain stopped!):

Giant armor (for that times):

And Sun for everybody, finally:

Great photos Dan. I am planning on going up the Mosel next year before heading to Austria

 

[Zeti]

On the Rhine Valley under almost each castle is an wonderful medieval burg.
Rudesheim:
We started with a defensive parking:

and a glass of red wine:

Meantime in the parking, the only car arrived was exactly near the Zed! What a magnetism!

Too much can make you silly:

[Zeti]

Well, after saying Good Bye to our hosts in Haus Weller,

the next stay was Koln or Cologne, but on the way we stopped in Bonn , the former Capital of W Germany:

and the meeting with the impressive Dome in Cologne:

and another surprising image was the bridge of " Locks of Love":

and if you imagine it was only few, accept the full bridge , on the both parts of the fence!:

Augustusburg Palace in Bruhl , the former official palace of W Germany:

Falkenlust castle, the hunting castle of Augustus Clements, 2.5 km far from Augustusburg:

And Koln brought to us another wonderful surprise: we met @Ludger Kieven , tasted together with his lovely lady the Kolsch beer and planned a wonderful trip tomorrow, over the Eifel!
