Bacharach was a sleepy and charming (and small) Town along the Rhine. I enjoyed my two nights stay (with a balcony). Of course, I did the obligatory Rhine cruise. The area is known for it's many castles along this well used river and it's white wine. The vineyards are locally clinging to the sides of the mountains as are the castles!

Getting to Rotenburg was challenging. Four transfers with five trains! I missed the first one because it never came (BTW it was 0705 in the morning!). Who said German trains were reliable? After a bit of panic and help from a nice station attendant who barely spoke English I managed to catch a train 30 minutes later with different connections. Now that threw me in all kinds of a dilemma because I only had one itinerary and you need to know which train to catch at each station. I mean the trains are identified by their final destinations and departure times not by the stops in between (where you may want to get off). But I actually caught up to my itinerary three trains later thanks to a delayed train from Frankfurt station.
