We made very good progress yesterday (after a lot of faffing about getting lost in Cologne) and easily covered the day´s distance. Today is our rest day in the very pretty medieval walled town of Andernach. After wandering around with a complete lack of energy - how did we ever find the energy to cycle for the past 6 days? - we took a boat trip on the Rhine to see the world´s tallest cold water geyser. This works when carbon dioxide being emitted from magma, forces a column of water 60m high into the air. Impressive stuff!

Tomorrow we need to get to the town´s only bike shop to get a new pedal for Ellie. She´s obviously been cycling far too much!
