Yesterday (27th June) we drove along the Rhine River. We saw lots of castles. We stopped in Lorely to find some information about the Rhine Valley. My family and I then went to Marksburg Castle. We did a tour but it was in German. There were a lot of Medieval things such as the torture room. After the tour we went to the souvenir shop and I bought a post card of the castle. We had a drink. We had a thunder storm here. We stayed at a caravan park called Gulser Moselbogan. We had spanish chicken for tea cooked by dad.
Today (28th June) we went to Koblenz city. We went to the old part of town. My mum and dad said we should go and explore. We caught a ferry across the river. After the ferry had docked we went to a fortress called Ehrenbreitstien. We caught a chair lift to get there. A bee nearly stung me. We had lunch there, I had spaghetti.
Mum said we both had catch phrases for the trip. Mine is "is it a bee, it is a fly, no it's a wasp!" and my brother's is "is this the biggest.....in the world?" We saw some guards. We went to two museums. We are going out for tea tonight. After we came back from the fortress we went to have a swim in the Mosel river. It was nice.
My time in Germany was great but I'm looking forward to Paris.
