Gang Car and Rhine River
Today we did a fun activity called a "gang car." I think that pictures will describe it a lot better, but I will do my best. A gang car is a vehicle that is mounted on a railroad track and is human powered by bicycle-style peddlers. Ours had seats for three peddlers in the front and seats for four people to sit in the back. The track we took was 20 km long and took us a few hours. We switched out drivers frequently and at one point we stopped in a town to get drinks. It was so fun!!!
When we reached the end of the track, we had lunch and rode a bus back to the car. On our way home, we stopped in a town next to the Rhine and did some walking around and shopping. It had been raining most of the time during the drive, but thankfully it cleared up a little while we were there. We could have gone up on a gondola to a hilltop to look over the vineyards and the river, but it got too late to go up.
