We were enjoying a lovely day of sight seeing when dark clouds started rolling in. We ducked into an ice cream shop just in time! We both enjoyed an affogato- espresso with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm!

The clouds rolled away and we found a wonderful winery along the “Red wine trail”. We enjoyed a few tastes then settle on the Portugieser- a variety I’ve never heard of before, but it was really nice.

What a lovely little city inGermany’s red wine region filled with gothic villages and roman ruins!

The food was ok- German. Just not our favorite

We had basil iced coffee, vanilla-almond Greek yogurt, and Cape Gooseberries (Physalis). We all agreed that they’re super tasty- sweet tart, pineapple plus a strawberry-tomato twist. Yum!

Fresh, chewy baguette with butter salt and a cool glass of Riesling… Ooo baby! Mom, this one’s for you 😉

We had lunch at a traditional German restaurant just a couple doors down from Beethoven’s birthplace!

We started with black pudding bruschetta with sautéed apples and onions. It was ok, not what we’d hoped for. Adam had the schnitzel with bacon and an egg on top. It was very good, very heavy but good. I had the pretzel salad- greens with tomatoes, pretzel croutons and ham. The salad was good. Again, heavy and overly dressed, but tasty. We also enjoyed dark beers and espresso… Mmmm!

We caught a train to Bonn and enjoyed a tasty bite on the way- pretzel with butter and herbs. So yummy!

We rented bikes and we were off…
