Sami, my CS guest from Brazil on 1,2 August

Samantha from Brazil is an experienced traveler and dentist(endodontist, specialist for root canal). I took her to a vegetarian soulfood dinner at Nathalie's place

We went to explore Wiesbaden, Mainz, the Rhine Gorge with a stop at the medieval town of Bacharach and spa town of Bad Kreuznach


Inhaling saline is a must-do in the spa town of Bad Kreuznach, especially with lung conditions. People with medical conditions can stay and use the natural resources like saline and radon.
Bad Kreuznach is a spa town with a park and forested walks.

We went up the Neroberg in Wiesbaden on a funicular driven by water which is the only one in the world. It is mentioned in the Lonely Planet but not in a way that catches people's attention
The Nerobers is a hill with vineyards which overlooks Wiesbaden and located at the foot of the Taunus mountains.

The Mainz market square in front of the Cathedral, the most important landmark in this city. The weekly fresh produce markets is the highlight of the week, although not necessarily cheap.
