    • Koblenz - Water levels

    • When we crossed the Rhein on the little ferry to Ehrenbreitstein I noticed this little bridge where the rising water levels had been engraved into the stones since the 1800s. It's difficult to imagine the level of this seemingly calm and peaceful river ever reaching such heights!

    The smaller plaques are from the more recent floods - 1980s and 90s. Another indication of global warming?

    • On the little ferry boat - lots of loose coils of rope on the deck. Dozens of pairs of feet everywhere when the boat is packed! It's the sort of thing I notice when I am wearing my *responsible adult* hat! (Or as one of my colleagues preferred to be called *Die GruppenFuehrer* :))
