The Rhine Valley

Hello from Germany! We are staying in a place called St Goar, which is very close to the Lorelei rock. It was dark as we drove past, but I can still say I have seen it. Today we travelled from Switzerland to Germany. We took the cog railway down early this morning to the base of the mountain. From there we drove about three hours to the border of Germany/Switzerland. Stopped at border control, then drove 20 metres for our first stop. We got lunch of schnitzel and potatoes which was pretty good. They had lemon mentos there too, but I didn't buy any. I love just looking at all the different stuff that is in the shops here, the different versions of the stuff we have at home.

We went to a Bierstein shop today too. Under the hotel (Contiki seems to be big on group deals and kick backs) and it was a little tacky, well not tacky, but I didn't want to buy one. There was also a teddy bear shop. And for Caroline and Delicia, they had Stief teddy bears, the MEGA expensive ones. So again, no purchases made.

Tomorrow we head to Amsterdam. I am looking forward to that I tell ya what! We get to see clogs and cheese! I want a pair of clogs. Well, not really, but I want to try some on.

You're one of the few people I know who would get excited about Amsterdam for clogs and cheese, rather than "AMSTERDAMN MEANS SMOKING LOTS OF DRUGS YAY!"
