I drove in the centre of Koblenz and parked up for an hour to have a little tour. The most famous is the famous "Deutsches Eck" (German corner) which is the place where the Mosel and the Rhein rivers meet.
This is monument of Emperor William the first at the Eck!!
Fortress Ehrenbreitstein
I then took the road that clings to the banks of the Rhein river and headed towards the Bridge at Remagen, passing through the wine growing towns of Hammerstein and Leutersdorf. I then crossed the Rhine on a car ferry from Linz to Krigg(not a patch on the Dartmouth-Kingswear in Devon).Anyway, this is whats left of the Bridge at Remagen. Made popular by the film of the same name starring Robert Vaughan as the token Nazi major, George Segal as the cigar toting soldier's soldier and Ben Gazzara as the token nutter who's seen took much action.
A barge on the Rhein. Somehow the vision of Charles Bronson rowing his gay mate Danny along it looks more peaceful.
I continued from Remagen through the completely non descript ex FRG capital of Bonn, and paid a visit to the Rhein Energie Stadion in Cologne. I only got lost or 20 mins or so and they found out I had circled the fecking ground at least 3 times and taking wild detours via the forest and the neighbouring suburbs of Junkersdorf and Mungesdorf.
In Leverkusen. The coolest thing. Traffic lights with a countdown timer.

The Germany motorway service station lunch of choice. Bockwurst, mustard and a bread roll.
