After saying goodbye to Annette, we jumped on the train back to Dusseldorf. It’s a beautiful ride along the Mitte Rhein or “middle Rhein” region. We were headed straight home, but after passing a few adorable half-timbered villages, we decided to make multiple stops along the way. We stopped in four villages- St. Goar, Spay, Rhens, Boppard and stayed in each for about an hour. We had great wine and enjoyed great views!

For lunch, Annette packed us yummy sandwiches. We stopped at a cafe overlooking the Rhein for tasty cold beers to compliment our sandwiches.
