Rüdesheim! In the heart of the best wine country in Germany. Awwww yeah.
It's a gorgeous little town but it's full of 40+ year old tourists, which is kind of a clash to the university town I'm living in right now and lead to one of the weirdest clubbing experiences of my life. Weird, but definitely hilarious.
First off, I love the Rhein river. It's lined with castles :D. Fritz, Olivia, Maria and I were joking around about dragons ("Hast du meinen Drachon gesehen?" translation: "Have you seen my dragon?") living in the castle and/or using a dragon to break into the castle that we could see right across the river from our hostel.
Highlight: Being crowned Wine Queen (I knew I'd make you proud Uncle Mirko and Aunt Christa!) when we went to a wine tasting. I was given a little plastic tiara and scepter and a HUUUGE goblet with half a litre of wine in it. And tasty wine it was!
We also went out a boat tour down the Rhein, visited a pony farm (inside joke in
the IUSP - "Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof" translation: "Life is not a pony farm"), sat by the river and ate ice cream.
A solid weekend, all in all!
