Rhein Germany
« on: March 21, 2014, 09:39:01 »
We had driven past the Lore Lay yesterday in fine sunny weather along the Rhine from Koblenz to Bingen. As there are no bridges in the Middle Rhine, we are set with the car ferries.

Lovely ... thanks for sharing.

2 days ago I removed the car cover and woke my little blue tornado from her winter sleep started her after 3 months rest (took her around the block a few times during the winter when roads veer nice and dry). It gave me a chance to clean out the garage from all the sand that our daily driver deposited over the winter time. I cannot wait till the snow is gone and spring is in full swing so I too can take her for a spin :)

Hello Peter,
 Always enjoy your pictures of your car and "navigator" out for a drive along the beautiful Mosel and Rhein rivers. Be careful of the siren's song at the Lorelei:-)

Peter,

The Rhine region is one of the best scenic place to enjoy both the nature and the car. I visited the region several years ago, not in a Pagoda alas, but it was nevertheless a very fine experience. Thanks for beautiful photos.
