I have to say, I was a bit tired after yesterday. So we started off slow, having a look at the meeting point between the Rhine and the River Moselle in Koblenz first, but picked up speed gradually. As I mentioned on yesterday's post, the surroundings were becoming flatter around Koblenz. But we found ourselves re-entering another steep-sided valley. But this one was short-lived, and
as soon as the land flattened out again, the heavy industry started to appear. This was to be our main view from our cycle path today, which wasn't great to be honest. To make matters worse, a wind arose after lunch blowing straight into our faces, strengthening as the afternoon went on, and finally, after several days of glorious sunshine, the inevitable happened: the rain was back. Not an amazing day,
but I am very happy to be in Köln, my dad's hometown, for the evening. A modern yet traditional place, perfect to rest for our biggest day of the trip tomorrow, a planned 108.5km.
