Hey,
I pretty much done the same trip, was away 7th to the 15th covering Germany, Belgium and Holland. We took the ferry over to Amsterdam from Newcastle on the 7th arriving on the 8th. The ferry was good craic as there was 6 of us in total and one of the guys won the onboard bingo.
We travelled from the ferry to a place called Winningen on the Mosel, that night we attended a wine festival in the town, great food and beer, the German folks were really friendly and it was a great atmosphere.
On the 9th we were all a bit rough so just chilled out at the campsite and went on a late afternoon run to Cochem.
On the 10th we went down one side of the mosel taking in Boppard, Sankt Goar before getting a ferry over to Rudeshiem and back up the otherside, we stopped in Koblenz at the same point as yourself, recognise the monument.
On the 11th we packed up and headed for Spa in Belgium, we stopped by the Ring and went to the shop, bought a sticker for my FZS600, although never went on the track. Arrived at Spa, it was pretty grim to be honest and we were not impressed. Its was bucketing it down a lot.
12th we took a trip to Monschau via Aachen, the rain was terrible and i almost turned straight back to camp. It was really nice there though and i dried out and warmed up a bit.
13th we headed to Amsterdam and stayed in Camp Zeeburg, that night we headed in to town and it was an experience.
14th was wet so pretty much straight to ferry port. The ferry back was dire as it was bowie on the boat from Clyde radio, man the folk that were scuttling about at that were not a great showing of scots, some looked like it was there annual night out.
This was my first journey abroad and i will defo do it again.
