Hello from Boppard

Day Three: another brilliant day with the children here in Germany.  After a good night’s sleep and a big breakfast, group D headed for Bacharach where we met with the boat for the Rhine river cruise. There was a little downpour, however all the children were inside and dry and still managed to get a good view of the Rhine!

At St Goar we disembarked and took the town train up the hill to Burg Rheinfels.  The sun came out and the group had a great guided tour of the castle with stunning views of the Rhine from the ramparts as well a trip underground in the caves.  We took lunch in the grounds before walking back down the hill.  The children had free time to walk round the town and take in a little shopping and a lot of ice-cream!

Then a short coach ride down the road to Boppard and we took the chairlift to the top of the hill.  We enjoyed incredible views of the Rhine valley including the largest ox bow (little geography cross curricular reference there) on the river.  Unfortunately the stunning weather was broken by quite a downpour, we all got a tad wet to say the least!  However we were quickly back on the bus, Darren our driver whacked up the heat and we were warm in no time!

Tonight we have a quiz hosted by our very own Stephen Fry - Mr Mason!

Auf Wiedersehen
