Today we were on the bus early once again and made good headway, leaving Switzerland and entering Germany. At our first services stop we noticed that things were a lot cheaper and we were now back to using eros. Things are pretty high tech in Germany.....at this stop the toilet seat is automatically cleaned after you use it. Rob was so impressed he recorded it on his phone! We had a stop at a lovely little town on the Rhine and went to a shop where we heard all about the history of the cuckoo clocks and saw many beautiful clocks that we could buy if we wanted to. We also went to a beer stein shop and learnt the history and manufacturing process. After this we had a wonderful boat cruise along the Rhine river. We passed so many castles and beautiful churches. We also saw many vineyards situated on very steep hills of up to 45 degrees which we thought was very unusual. The cruise went for an hour and was very enjoyable. After our cruise we had a wine-tasting session in a small shop and learnt about German wines in the Rhine valley region. From here it was on to our hotel in the quiet German village of Weiland. At dinner, we were again treated to a shared group meal and it was delicous.
