Coach D - Up and down

From the tunnels to the chair lift coach D had a great day, they were so tired they didn't complain about going to bed at nine!

Spaghetti Ice Cream!

Students on Coach E had possibly their best German experience today.... Spaghetti Ice Cream!

(They also enjoyed the castle at Burg Eltz... But not quite as much)

Excitement on coach B

Coach B has been exceptionally well behaved and all is well . Very hot weather so lots of water and sunblock stops. Been on 2 cable cars so far and have another ride tomorrow. Joe Rabbets is excited about disco tomorrow eve( which is of course to celebrate his birthday)!  Berg Elz today and then Cochem shopping!

Coach A - Castles and rivers!

So far Germany has been a great hit for the occupants of coach A. The armoury of the burg Eltz prompted many questions for our very knowledgeable guide as did the story of the ghostly Agnes.  The climb back up the hill was interestingly some of us over the age of 12 preferring to linger at the back to admire the view!  We followed with a trip to the lovely town of Cochem. I hope the parents and siblings enjoy their carefully chosen gifts.

Today we are cruising along the Rhine in trusty coach A admiring castles en route for a tour of the  music centre having just visited the statue of the Lorelei, the lovely siren which lured careless Rhine boatmen onto the rocks.

I think many parents will be expanding their knowledge of this part of Germany on our return whether they like it or not!

Coach D & E update

Coach E had a hectic day today with an exciting visit to the mechanical music museum and a couple of fine musical performances from the students. They followed this with a trip to Lorelei to hear the story of the maiden that threw herself from the rocks when her lover failed to return! A trip on the cable car across the refine polished off a great day enjoyed by all.

Coach D enjoyed their visit to the impressive Burg Eltz castle and the enormous statue of William the Great on horse at the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel.

We're here!
