Shifting Gears: Day Eight A typical morning; coffee and clothes drying. Continental breakfast minus the bread. Quite processed but ketogenic. I think that is a yogurt on the bottom left side. A warm day in store. No mention of the storm that soaked everything. One of many castles along the Mittelrhein. Not just wet, but very muddy. Slip-sliding my way along the flooded cycleway. This ferry spent most of its crossing headed upstream with its engines flat out. A strong current in this part of the Rhine The romantic Rhine in all its glory.A riverside crane records the industrial past of this area. A pleasant coffee stop in a town square in Koblenz. My bike is propped up against the wall. Torrential rain made cycling difficult. I decided to wait under a tree. Rows of vines at Rhinekilometer 537. Half way along the Rhine! We have just past the vineyard that makes Riesling555. Nice and smooth glucose after the mornings rise. In the nutritional ketosis range as expected. The steak looks overcooked and unappetising but it was anything but.
