We left the Prumtal campsite, which we thought was very good generally, and we’d stay there again. We were searching for a place to do some food shopping. Our SatNav told us there was a Walmart Supermarket nearby. We had so much trouble trying to find it that we asked someone and they said, Oh that isn't a Walmart it's called Real, and there it was in front of us. It was a huge supermarket and it had everything we needed including Snickers bars and some other recognisable chocolate, so we stocked up!

| Model Vineyards, miles of them! |
We then took a long meandering drive along the Mosel River admiring all the vineyards and the old medieval style villages. Everywhere was notably clean and very pretty. The vineyards are planted all along the hillsides, miles and miles of them with all the famous names in big signs across the hill.

| Quaint Model Villages |
They have little monorail trains running up and down the hills so the workers can pick the grapes. There are also many campsites set by the riverside but they all seemed to be on the other side of the river to us. The villages have many nice looking restaurants, which all looked busy so they must be good, much better than France & Spain.
We eventually arrived at our chosen campsite about 5pm. It was okay, right on the Rhine river, but a bit noisy from traffic on the nearby main road. The rubbish bins were next to the showers, and they smelled dreadful. We thought we’d stay that night but probably look for something better the next day. We walked down to the riverside in the evening and I fed a couple of swans who had a baby with them. They got a bit excited and hissed at me, which scared the life out of me. Ha ha!
