The Rhine

A delightful day by the Rhine. A leisurely drive this morning from Leichlingen to Monheim au Rhine where we met Dirk and Brigitte. 

View over the Rhine this morning. 

We could not have asked for a better day, bright sunshine with a very cooling breeze from the mighty Rhine. 

The Rhine's embankment, a very popular recreational area. 

Butch loved the freedom of the river bank. 

Took a short walk before lunch, had an enjoyable lunch in the van before taking a longer walk along the Rhine later in the afternoon. A very enjoyable lunch and walk with very pleasant friends. 

A gentle stroll along the Rhine. 

Still a working river even on a Sunday. 

Dirk and Brigitte were off home to Frankfurt while we had a quite a few kms to travel to get near the Belgium-German border. 

Waving goodbye!

A very lovely way to spend a Sunday!

A looming site whilst traveling to Aachen late this afternoon.
