After showing a group of campers how to make a bonfire in Munich, we started what became a huge communal fire where we met people from all over. We were staying at a place called "The Tent" which was a series a massive tents with bunk after bunk of beds in them. Thank goodness we brought air freshener! At 1am, the owners put out our fire, so we headed to a free outdoor festival going on down the street with a guy we met from England. After a couple litre beers, we headed back.

The next morning we took an early train to Mainz, staying in a little town just off the Rhine River. We stayed at a cute family run hostel, where our room was upgraded to a private twin and the owner gave us two bikes to ride through the wine valleys. We biked to the top of one hill where we stumbled across an old tower that overlooked the valley. To our pleasant surprise, there was a wine tasting here as well. After a bottle of Flicke (white) we headed back down the hill for dinner on the river. Quiet evening all in all.

The following day we began our trip up the Rhine, camping in Rudesheim. We took the boat up to Koblenz the following day, passing by vineyards and massive castles all the way up the river. We arrived in Koblenz in the early afternoon, and made our way to Luxembourg, where we stayed the night before heading into Paris.
