Went to bike shop and turned bikes in. Told them how upsetting tour had been. Not accurate description of tour and GPS not easy to follow. Cedric walked us to underground train station where we took train to main station. Took train to Mainz (town we are staying in tomorrow) theater and changed trains to WORMS. Took taxi to HOTEL SANDWIESE-luggage was waiting for us. Hotel feels like we are in the country. Have large room with window overlooking restaurante-no air-conditioning, noisy fan. Did I mention that NO windows ever have screens-all are wide open, hoping for a breeze. Flys don’t seem to like it here and are not a problem-which is strange considering all the food and restaurants lining the streets. We go for a walk to a huge almost vacant beautiful park with an abandoned castle and ducks. Enjoy our 1st German meal at the hotel restaurant. Feel much better that we did not have to ride our bikes here.

I don’t know how they do it but EVERY BATHROOM IS SPOTLESS- no mold anywhere.. Every room we have stayed in on now our 5th European tour has also been spotless. I’m going to have to talk to Armand about his shower.
