Carry on Down the Rhine - Wesel

I  had no idea that Joachim von Ribbentrop was born in Wesel.  In fact due to my limited recall of famous German diplomats I had thought that he was the lead character in Cabaret. I had the opportunity to visit Wesel recently where Mrs N was dispensing her knowledge.

A stroll along the Rhine at sunset. Behind me the River Lippe has just confluenced.

This is a viewing balcony adjacent to the rail bridge scuttled by the German Army in retreat in 1945 - the tradition of padlocking one's hearts desire to the railing is a new one to me.

Back at the bike park in Wiesbaden a Frenchman has arrived.

I take Ronny 650 for a TuV test to see whether she is healthy enough to be registered in Germany.

Oh no, an emissions test, not fair on a 11 year old smoker

Success - I think.  Next step is to obtain a German number plate.....
