Day 6 Bonn to Lahnstein

After checking that the next campsite was open and accepted tents we had an excellent buffet breakfast in hotel. No problem getting out of Bonn just followed the West Bank of the river most of the day. The landscape has changed quite suddenly, now instead if power stations and factories there are hills and castles lining the river although the cycle route itself is still very flat.

Coffee stop at Remegen very picturesque. 

Onwards and lunch at Andernacht. By this time it was getting a bit warm 37 degrees C.  That didn't seem too bad until we converted it to fahrenheit , 98 degrees is bloody hot!! Carried on through Koblenz stoping for ice cream. 
Camping site at Lahnstein was at the top of our second hill of the holiday (a proper one this time!) which had us gasping for beer by the time we checked in.  We knew that there was an outdoor swimming pool next to the site, but due to the hot weather the queue was about a mile long so we just made do with the showers.  Overall a pretty straightforward day with most of the miles in the right direction. Unfortunately it looks like we'll need to double back about 3 miles tomorrow to get back on the right side of the river. Give us another few weeks and we'll have this sussed.

Today's mile - 50
Total miles- 345
