Monday 3rd May 2010: After a drive of about 260 miles we will arrive at our first German campsite in the lovely town of Rüdesheim. Our campsite is right alongside the river and only a short walk from the town itself. Rüdesheim is full of interesting places to visit, including a fabulous musical instrument museum and the Asbach distillery. You can also take a “Rhine Cruise” from within a few hundred yards of the campsite. |
