I’m teetotal and live here - I have swapped beer for cakes.
You pass by me tomorrow then. It’s a nicer sector than today’s route, I find Düsseldorf to Koblenz not very nice.Worth stopping in Xanten for lunch, if you’re following the Rhein. If you’re going cross country I can recommend some great cafes.
Riding by the Rhein is still pretty good but more industrial. Bit more in the same direction tomorrow then into the Netherlands.

Coffee and apfeltart (?) at 10:00, then beer and sausage at lunch then local sparkling wine and more cake at 3-4 before arriving at the hotel for wine and dinner. 5 days I think. One of the best holidays we ever had.Absolutely loads of couples and small groups on hybrids and e-bikes. It did give me an idea.Being a non meat eater and tee total I don’t make the ideal tourist in Germany.
