What a mammoth task we have ahead of ourselves, trying to recover the many kilos lost while walking along the Rhine. On the average we have lost probably lost about 50% of our lean body mass, which only has been mildly compensated for by a 30% increase in fat body mass.
Day 1 was spent mostly in either a horizontal posture or in a seated position at food table.
On our second day in Koblenz my suggestion was to visit the German railway museum-mostly attended by the guys with one dedicated train enthusiast of the female variety.

After this, we all went on the city walking tour led by our nonagenerian guide. It turns out that in fact there are limited attractions in Koblenz.

| The spitting fountain-what a hoot! |

| The tongue pointing man-a real knee slapper! |
In the evening we repaired to the Michelin starred Da Vinci restaurant. Despite some fairly dodgy service a fine meal was enjoyed by all.
On the third day in Koblenz we traveled by cable car up to the local Schloss. The trip was delayed by a thunderstorm(has nobody here ever heard of Faraday?), but we found shelter at a nearby hostelerie where we enjoyed some beery beverages. Due to language issue we managed to leave without paying, putting us immediately onto the interpol wanted list.
Anyway the weather improved greatly and it turned out that there was some sort of Teutonic carnival going on in the castles ground involving of course what your Germans are best at(after starting wars that is),drinking beer and eating sausages-a most admirable pastime.
That evening the more cultured of our group attended a performance of a Mozart Mass at one of the local churches-others in our group(the swill) chose to lounge around and drink beverages-who do you think had more fun?
That evening we had our farewell dinner, consisting of large slabs of meat accompanied by a lettuce leaf.
