Just Take the Bus to Koblenz
My appreciation for Koblenz didn’t begin the first or second time I went there, not counting the first day I arrived in Germany. That’s why, this is a condensed post of my experiences in Koblenz. Koblenz is the closest city to Vallendar, where I live. Initially, Koblenz seemed to be a small, cute city. I ...
