Day 10: Rhine River Drive

After lunch we hopped back on the road following the Rhine River towards Hockenheim. Scattered throughout this region are beautiful, mountainside castles built during the 12th and 14th centuries. The Rhine River was used as a means of transportation for the Romans, and the castles we saw whilst driving provided them watch and protection in a very crucial part of their empire. Some people took this three hour trek towards Hockenheim to catch up on some sleep, however those that stayed awake were rewarded with some breathtaking views of the mountainous terrain that surrounds the Rhine River valley.

Upon arrival in Hockenheim, we checked into the hotel and made our way to Braueri zum Stadtpark for dinner. We enjoyed some German schnitzel served alongside a healthy helping of potatoes. Group dinners have provided a great platform to get to know our peers better and chat about the content of our days.
