Frank climbs 570 steps in Koln to get to the top of the Cathedral. It is showery. He finds the climb quite claustrophobic and as he passes the bell tower hopes the bells don't ring!
We visit the 4711 shop and are informed that the cologne got its name when the French introduced street numbers and their place was simply number 4711. 
The Rhine meets the Moselle.
View from Burg Eltz. We've been taking a few 'selfies' but each time we do another tourist jumps in asks if they can take a picture for us. :)
The Rhine and Moselle valleys are both fantastic. We've seen loads of the river cruise boats. Space is at a premium. You would not believe the steepness of some of the slopes they are growing vines on.
We take a chair lift to the top of the hill and have a lovely walk down. The weather is now hot and we are having more of a holiday time. What a difference great weather makes.
Germania statue: Built by the Germans to look into France. A bit of a finger sign really. The Americans took pot shots at it after liberating France.
