Needless to say there is no joy in Mudville. I really was surprised by the outcome given how shabbily the Italians were playing but in sudden death.... There is no talk of fußball in these parts now, can you say vive la France?
The last couple of days I have biking the Rhine. Niederbachem is about 16 kilometers from Bonn along the river. Nice and flat riding with lots of walkers, bikers, cafes, views of vineyards, Drachenfels ruins, Petersberg castle, flat barges, tourist tour boats and parks. The biking culture is serious here. Not to the Copenhagen level but substantial to be sure. There are bike paths and lanes everywhere and the biker is treated equally on the road. I actually crossed the Rhine on a highway (Autobahn) that had a dedicated lane.
Today we are headed to Cologne for site seeing and putsing around.
