Don’t miss train ride along Rhine

From page 35
in the middle of Glasgow’s
business district, catches the visitor
by surprise.

Bonn’s cobbled main square is
dominated by an elegant rathaus,
or city hall. There is, as you'd ex-
pect, a large statue of Beethoven,
but unexpectedly, there is also a
familiar chant from the past. Yes,
the Hare Krishna boys are here,
along with the occasional wino
understandably unable to resist the
lure of Rhine hillsides covered with
grape vines.

A warm fall morning finds peo-
ple drinking the excellent German
coffee at tables in the square, while

late at night tables outside a city
centre hotel bubble with music
lovers who have just emerged from
a Beethoven concert.

A statue of a kaiser — replace-
ment for the one shot off its plinth
by the Americans — stands near-
by, a reminder of the old Ger-
many, one that seems very far
away as we raise our glasses of
beer and drink to peace and pro-
sperity.

Some traveliers head for the
wine country of the Moselle
Valley, while others follow the
Rhine, which flows majestically
from its cradle in the Swiss Alps to
the delta in Holland.

No visitor to Bonn should miss

the train ride along the Rhine, and
a@ most unusual train it is, because
it is operated by the German
airline Lufthansa, and offers the
quality of service passengers find
in the front cabin of Lufthansa
jetliners which fly non-stop be-
tween Vancouver and Frankfurt.

A word on this: Lufthansa has
opted to offer first class service on
its DC-10s out of Vancouver, so
business class passengers are
upgraded to the roomy first class
cabin — it’s the best deal in the
skies.

Lufthansa’s duty-free has good
buys in Swatch watches and
Siemens radios, the latter a Ger-
man-madz portable clock alarm

with five short wave bands.

Back to the train: on arrival at
Frankfurt airport passengers go
downstairs and there it is — long,
elegant and very fast. I chose a
seat in the restaurant car, and en-
joyed lunch as we swept along the
banks of the Rhine, always busy
with a long barge or a cruise boat,
while high on the hills were castles
galore, lingering remnants of the
days when every Rhine prince and
pretender had a suit of armor and
a castle to keep it in.

Bonn takes just 114 hours by the
airport express. To fly costs the
same and is quicker, but don’t.
Better still, get out and walk, the
way the Romans did it.
