The Rhine River

Leave a reply

So much to say about the week we spent biking the Rhine. Linda and I, along with four old friends (Randa, Neal, Fraser, and Diane), and two new friends (Al and Jenny), boarded a barge in Strasbourg, France and spent the next seven days riding along the river and sleeping on the barge. Our final destination was Mainz, Germany. Along the way, we made six day trips to different cities and towns, including:

  • Strasbourg to Gambsheim
  • Gambsheim to Speyer
  • Speyer to Mannheim
  • Mannheim to Heidelberg and back
  • Mannheim to Worms
  • Worms to Mainz

I will eventually write a story about each leg of the ride. For now, here are several photographs I made while riding along the river and strolling around towns.
