Day 8, Obertal to Idar-Oberstein. Our hotelier decided that, being Americans, we should be served an "American" breakfast this morning. 2 eggs sunny side up, toast and a pile of undercooked bacon. Recall the 17 beers from the night before? Thanks for the gut bomb meal- Webbs it wasn't. Anyway, we started the day riding to the start of the Nahe River, or Nahequelle. It turned out literally to be a 1" pipe sticking out of a hillside in the middle of nowhere. For some reason the Germans found this an interesting site to visit. The riding was awesome today- some of the best of the tour. Lots of hills and varied terrain- dirt paths to paved lanes. Lots of little towns in between.
Idar-Oberstein is a center for the gem trade and has scads of gem and precious stone shops- indeed of little interest to us. A nice place to stay anyway.

Over the river and through the woods....
Scenic vistas galore.
A church built in to the cliffside above our hotel.
We called these "drinking huts".
And now you know why.
