DAY 9: Mannheim - Mainz














I really hope this weather continues. My dad left us on another sunny morning and the three of us, my uncle,
my godfather and I, headed north. The scenery around the Rhine is again beginning to change as we move up towards the source.















Today, our main view was rows and rows of sun-dried vineyards along the growing bluffs on the banks. There wasn't a cloud in sight (well there were a few but that doesn't sound as good) and we continued to Oppenheim in the heat, where we were treated to lunch by Moritz, my godfather, on a cafe terrace.



We were in a slight rush since Moritz had to catch the train at 17.20 in Mainz, our destination, so we pressed on and dodging the locals, making the most of this glorious day on the riverside, we reached Mainz with enough time to have yet another drink in the sun before Moritz's train left. Now for the toughest 4 days of the trip all in a row starting from tomorrow...
