Worms to Mainz. Wine and Rhine

Mileage:- 35 miles

Total mileage:- 527 miles

Hotel :- Terminus Hotel

A very pleasant stay in Worms. A balcony overlooking the cathedral. Could not get any cash today. A dearth of machines and Santander would not give me any either. Eventually got some in a small village.

We were advised to take the alternative route "Rheinterrassen Radweg" to keep away from the flooded areas. This was a lovely ride, through small villages and vineyards. Sometimes rising on a high terrace which gave good views over the river.

We eventually came back to the Rhine only to find more diversions and flooding. We foun Viking River Cruises landing wrecked. Still no river traffic at all. The occasional big barge tied up, but nothing on the water.

We got into Mainz, but we had to cycle on the main road as the path was flooded. The roads are busier as no one can use the ferries. The campsite here was flooded, so another hotel.
