A very enjoyable meal in Mainz, and a noisy night in the hotel, keeping us all awake. We had time to visit the church of St. Stephan's. With the stained glass windows by Chagall, they were stunning. We were the only people in the church, a lovely oasis of calm in the busy city. Then we went into Frankfurt by train. This was a planned break, staying at Jane Parkins, John and Jenny's daughter. Plus Alex their grandson and Jan.
The Rhine looked swollen as we crossed on the railway bridge. Some parts of the riverside in Frankfurt were flooded, but the water appears to be receding.
The break has allowed us to clean and check the the bikes, do the washing etc. A day off tomorrow then back on the route on Saturday.
