And so the journey begins....

Headed back to Germany, on the way met a guy from England that was also heading to Cologne. I got there and found my hostel it was miles away from the centre. I had arranged to catch up with this guy that afternoon to do a bit of site seeing together. On the way there I managed to find a phone charger for my phone!!! So happy about that! The prospect of having to buy a new phone was not one that I wanted to deal with. Met up with this guy and he had brought along an Aussie bloke he had met at the hostel, Mr "I have been everywhere". We had a look in the Dom, it is very impressive from the out side, the Aussie guy was bored and headed off to sleep. The Brit and I wandered around the rest of Cologne. There isn't that much to see. From there I headed to Koblenz. This is a pretty place it is right on where the Rhine and Moselle Rivers meet. The weather hasn't improved, the rain is still following me around. The place I visited was Cochem, now this place is too cute for words, it is on the Moselle river, there is a castle preached on top of the hill over looking the village. The next afternoon I was heading to Luxumbourg, in the morning I did a river cruise down to Beilstein, at 10am in the morning I was knocking back wine, nothing like a liquid breakfast to get your day on the way. With a few under the belt I climbed up to the hill to the ruins of a castle. Not a bad view from there. That afternoon I headed back to the Cochem to catch my train, only to find that the ticket office wasn't open, so I bought a ticket to the last German town on the route and hoped I could buy the rest of the ticket on board. It all worked out in the end and I was on my way to Luxumbourg.
