Rudesheim

More spectacular scenery along the Rhine Gorge this morning, we brave the cold for a couple of hours for an uninterrupted view from the non-sun deck. I go for a warming coffee and find the machine 'out of order'. Several people have gastro and we're in lockdown: no buffet, no self serve so less weight gain till its resolved....
The lack of cappuccino is compensated for with Rudesheim coffee - a local specialty including flamed fruit brandy and whipped cream.
After lunch we choose a wine tour through the incredibly steep terraced vineyards. We're served a variety of delicious rieslings, pinot noir and fruit brandies. Of course after that a cleansing ale in the local pub is in order.
