Rhineland in July 2011

Highlights of this trip: introduction to subject of Alexander von Humboldt at the Cologne Chocolate Museum, and the tiny tin phonograph that played real chocolate records, developed by Thomas Edison in the 1900s - 300 different songs and stories were produced, with each miniature disc playing for 35 seconds; sitting on the bank of the Rhine in the evening light the below the youth hostel at Koln-Riehl; the chair-lift at Boppard; the flying-airplanes at Phantasialand!
