    You pronounce Bacharach perfectly. Thank you for taking me back to 1960 when Andy, Whigs and I hiked from Koblenz to Mainz .Andy and I were studying at Westminster Technical Hotel School in London. Later he and I spent the winter working as waiters in the luxury Munich Hotel Bayerischerhof.

    Its so sweet to see you being that excited about the castles and monuments of the middle Rhine valley. I grew up in Bingen and for me its just the every days view I had for 20 years :) Very wise you've chosen the left side for your bicycle tour, there is the better infrastructure and more little towns down the river.

    Was in Hostel Burg Stahleck Bacharach back in April 1980 for a week. It was for the German-American high school student orchestra and chorus. At the end of the week, we gave a free concert for the public in town. We lived in the upper rooms. They closed the castle gates at 10 pm, so good luck trying to get in after curfew. Amazing views from the terrace.

We live overlooking the Saône at Villefranche-sur-Saône so we might have seen you go by! We cruised up to Dole this August and loved it as well. We look forward to working our way through your entire series. I recommend that you join the Facebook page Women on Barges; it is not just for barges and is very international. Bon voyage ❤️🛶⛵️🚤🛥❤️😁

    Hi Maya, your pronunciation of 'Bacharach' is just perfect! This also holds true for your English narration which is ear candy for non native speakers. I don't know about your plans for 2021, going around the Baltic Sea (taking four month if you take your time) is a must when being in Northern Europe anyway. Take care and stay safe.

    That Werner Chapel is identical in architecture and look to the old Coventry cathedral in England, so much so that I think that here must be a connection. Ironically Coventry's beautiful cathedral was one of the first destroyed by the German bombs and there is an iconic photograph of Churchill stood in it ruins. Those are really very beautiful words by the Pope on the monument there. Best wishes for the coming journey north.

    Dear Maya and Aladino, I am facinated by the quality of the stories you tell, the music, the scenery and your positive energy towards life. As a sailor and a musician, I share your feelings of adventure and appreciation for beauty. Sometimes, I dream about my travels in a way that follows your own stories. I can hear the Mistral in the Mediterranean and discover old castles in the Rhine and wonder about the lost ecos in the ancient stone walls of the old cities. Journeys are nothing more than paths to our own souls. Thank you!

Appreciate you can"t visit all towns along the Rhine but most have a great deal to offer & as PPPpink said you have missed a treat in Mainz. Hopefully the best is yet to come. Koblenz is a nice town & if you can turn down the Mosel there are more treats to see. Berncastle Kues is lovely but as a non sailor unsure if it is navigable that far up. even if you get to Cochem you will love it. Enjoy ! Eric.

Find the hotel right on the river in the city and ask the owner if she remembers the woman who fell on her face. Bacharach is easy to pronounce...think of Burt.

Your weekly dialogue is a fix that I have come to rely upon. I know exactly what you mean about sailors as I have just journeyed by 33 foot ketch from Scotland to England with much drama along the way .

    Many years ago I went on a youth orchestral tour and we travelled along that section of the Rhine, I’d always vowed to go back and explore it. This year I had two plans, 1. A weeks sailing course, 2. Cycle tour along that stretch of the Rhine. Unfortunately due to all the Covid restrictions I have not done them as planned, but watching this is definitely a good second best to actually going, which hopefully I will still do next year.
