"So, do you come to Koblenz often?"
"I'm a regular visitor here, but Koblenz has certainly had its share of visitors. Troops commanded by Julius Caesar were here in 55 BC. It's located at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers"
"In fact doesn't it take its name from the Latin for confluence?"
"Yes, Pete, it does. As we know, in geography a confluence is the meeting of two or more bodies of water."
"I was not aware of that."
The aforementioned confluence is behind us in the photo above. Right in front of us is the Deutches Eck, which has a giant statue of William I on horseback and is a monument to German unity. Continuing with the Wayne's World theme, here are some extreme close-ups:
Whoaa-oaaa-oaaa-oaaa-oaaa!
