Sorry I haven’t posted for a while but I haven’t had time due to Christmas celebrations with distant Dutch relations and also issues with Wi-Fi (including a time limit, so I am pre-writing entries). I'm excited about Paris too, Alexander, and we are going to Versailles. Will take heaps of photos. We are there 1st to the 4th of January.
While we were in Bacharach we stayed in the local youth hostel, which was situated in a castle. We arrived in the late evening and spent the remaining daylight trying to figure out how to get up to the castle. In the end we resorted to calling a taxi and getting driven up to the tower with all of our luggage. We quickly dumped our stuff in our room and set off to find some dinner and to explore the village.
We walked along the wall for a bit, but all of the restaurants that were on the wall were closed so we descended and went to a bar-restaurant that we had seen and had a very nice dinner of different things like schnitzel, goulash soup or an omelette.
After this we walked back up to the castle and settled down to sleep.
I was about to say "We arrived in Paris on the 4th of jan", but then realised that it was actually the 5th; we left Australia on the 4th.
