Weekend!



Was out of the city this weekend. Saturday to Rüdesheim and Sunday to Bonn. For the past few days, i was bored of staying in the room. Especially when night reaches. I felt energetic but filled with emptiness. These days i was getting to bed late and woke up late. Thanks to the sun that set about 9.30pm.

For the Satuday trip was awesome. Travelled 3 hours to Rüdesheim, a place that well known for producing wine, Took short tour around the city. Had a german typical lunch in Restaurant. And get some soviniors.The city was rather happened, with a lot of people. The city is covered by hills, where the grapes are planted. The city was also located along the Rhein river, the most popular river of Germany.

By 2pm, we took a tour along the river side from Rüdesheim to Koblenz, 4 hours ship. At the beginning, we were rather excited, taking pictures here and there. Looking at each cities, abandoned castles and forties we passes through. After a few stations, we started to "cool down", no more photographing session. We just sat down, enjoying the sun ray, the greenery, the wind blew through us as well listening to music and chit chatting.

Stopped over at Koblenz for Germany king monument.


The next day(Sunday) went to Bonn, was once the capital of Germany. A small city. Took a some pictures. went to Beethoven birthhouse, paid 4 euro for entry fee, but rather disappointing. And no photo allowed.

On the way home, saw a group for weird people(i guess a family of 6) quarreling to each others. Shouting and scream out loud, until i, the one who fell asleep with earphone on could hear their screams. It was rather funny, when on of them, a fat lady changed her shirt in the train.LOL! People sitting near to me was aslo laughing seeing the "funny " people.LOL!

Gosh, reading this post brought back wonderful memories of my river trip on the Rhine too. I spent quite a lot of time in Heidelberg. A German lunch with lotsa wine sure is nice on the boat. ;)

Hope you get to see more of Europe.
