Heidelberg to Bacharach

55km, total 1055 (we did a few km round Heidelberg to bump up the total)
Martin and Julie wave us off from the Bahnhof as we take a train shortcut to the Rhine at Mainz.
It doesn't take long to find our new route signs and head north. Wow it's beautiful. The hills are terraced with vineyards, boats of all sizes move up and down the river and there are amazing buildings and ruins on both sides. "The Upper Middle Rhine Valley is one of the most magnificent and oldest cultural landscapes in Europe"
and is UNESCO listed.
We have a tailwind and a flat path and a very delicious dinner - an altogether awesome day.
