After pretend-to-be-busy Friday in the office, I took a 25-mile leisurely bicycle ride to a little spa town in the Ahr River valley. We have been coming to Bad Neuenahr for more than a hundred years now to “take the waters”, indulge in wellness and fitness (and gambling).
Here comes the wellness weekend then and now:
Very nicely done, clever too 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks John. There is so much to discover in these underrated little places all over Europe.
Deleteor Peter even😄
DeleteOoops, the sauna was too hot😀
DeleteWe go sometimes to the Ahr, in Rech and Mayschoss. They are still recovering from the floods. This set is a timecapsule,nice
ReplyDeleteHi Peter, I know, you mentioned about your visits here before.
DeleteI like cycling in the Ahr valley very much. The Steigenberger was re-opened a year ago but the area around is in need of heaps of money to recover after the flood. The renovated hotel and a small spa are great, though. We are just about to go downstairs for breakfast (which is as good as their new saunas) 🙂.
Great post! Love the comparison. Hope you are well rested now 😉
ReplyDeleteHi Camellia, It was great! Juergen went home by train and I took a bicycle (what else?) and went through my favourite villages, meadows, forests. A nice 40-mile ride, soon will be home.
DeleteWell done all fantastic captures love them all
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I have just come back home. Cycled from the spa, a nice 4-mile ride. What a nice weekend.
Delete40, not 4 😀
