Day 5: Koblenz to Mannheim

I spent the morning dawdling down the bank of the Rhine stopping here and there for wurst or ice cream in riverside cafes. The afternoon was spent on a mixture of roads and gravel tracks through miles of vineyards and down into Mannheim.

The evening was spent at Roof Lounge where conversation was with 'Sticky' who makes decals for race cars and others involved with a McLaren event in town. Conversation covered the negative influence of computers on typography, motor racing and Hong Kong and Macau politics.
