ALSHEIM - Nierstein - ELTVILLE 34 miles
The intention was to travel to Rudesheim. There was a big event going on and no accommodation to be found, so we settled for something nearer and made nice long stops. We started straight away through the wine fields, at times quite hilly with fantastic views ahead. Beautiful church in Oppenheim and a fellow guest at our B&B was going there for a wedding. (See picture). Much cycling alongside the Rhine today. It was warm but going through wooded areas was cooling. Following the original Rhine cycling route we travelled over the Conrad Adenauer bridge to the other side of the Rhine. This area was a hub of activity. Families were out cycling, walking and eating/drinking in the rhineside restaurants and cafes. Nice atmosphere and the sun was shining till late afternoon. Looks we are in for a storm.
But how do we feel? Quite fit really. After 7 days of cycling we feel that our bodies have synchronised with our daily routines. That took a few days to achieve. We sleep early and get up at 7. Have a not too big a breakfast but take a roll with us for later. We drink a lot of water and usually have a beer with our midday meal. It's been a good day.
