Jake: So mummy, what was your favourite place to visit?
I liked the gondola. It was open so it wasn’t too stuffy. You could see the vineyards and the local region across the valley.
Miles: What were your top 5 favourite foods?
Number one would be the asparagus. Number two is flammkuchen. And the cheese from the wine place was pretty good too. I need to have editing rights to this before it goes live.
Jake: What was your favourite wine?
A dry riesling. We tried several throughout Rüdesheim, including at a wine tasting place that featured 160 local wines. They were all delicious!
Miles: What was your favourite place that we went on a bike ride?
The castle at Eltville, where there were beautiful rose gardens. We sat and had lunch and a drink by the Rhine. The rain tried to spoil the day but it quickly blew away so it was a lovely afternoon.
Jake: Would you recommend a visit to Rüdesheim and why?
Yes! It is a quaint town with lots of things to do. We went to the wineries, enjoyed bike rides, and bush walks, role gondolas, and nice food including white asparagus which is only in season for three months of the year. Many restaurants had a whole asparagus menu!
Miles: How many motorcycles did you see?
The Harley Davidson festival starts tomorrow, and so I saw hundreds of motorcycles. We saw a white one with a leopard print saddle and a gold wheel. That was my favourite.
