Mainz-Kastel, Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany - 8th August, 2014
Kastel is the historical bridgehead of Mainz, the capital of the German state Rhineland-Palatinate and is located on the right side of the Rhine river. Kastel faces the historical center of Mainz and the two cities are connected by a road bridge. Kastel is located about one kilometer below today's water mouth of the river Main into the Rhine.
In its long history Kastel repeatedly belonged to Mainz and was formally incorporated on 1 April 1908. Since Mainz was part of the French occupation zone (formed after World War II) and Kastel was part of the American occupation zone, the Americans ordained that Kastel should be part of the administration of Wiesbaden. Ever since 25 July 1945, Kastel belongs to the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden.

Germany's Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg
© 2002 Rick Steves' Europe | Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz — a lived-in castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany's best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town's lamp-lit ramparts.

Also, I'm not really convinced this really is the biggest hourglass in the world but the plaque said biggest and most precise, so I put it in the title.
Hotel Review: Favorite Parkhotel, Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany - August 2017
Hotel Review: Favorite Parkhotel, Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate, Germany - August 2017.
The Favorite Parkhotel is located outside the centre of Mainz approximately 2 kms south of the hauptbahnhof. It is adjacent to the Südbrucke rail / pedestrian bridge over the River Rhine and is a 15 minute walk from Mainz Römisches Theater railway station, which is the closest station and a lovely walk through the Stadtpark, which is directly behind the hotel.
The hotel is built into a hill, which slopes outside, and this means that internally, that there are quite a few stairs to get from one end of the building to the other. The hotel has a modern airy feel, is bright internally and decorated to a high quality specification.
The reception has a bright lobby area for sitting and a very novel aquarium built into one of the walls. The reception staff were friendly and spoke excellent English. I asked for a room on a high floor with a good view, and I was given a room on the 5th floor (out of 6) with a road view. At the time of entering the room I was none the wiser that this was an inferior view, so was happy upon arrival at the room (read on for the full story).
To get to the room via lift / elevator you need to use your key card, this is a good security measure. The lift had a glass side, which was nice and novel for a view of the outside.
The fifth floor corridor was decorated with football memorabilia of FSV Mainz 05. The room I was allocated - 547, was next to the lift shaft. Upon entering I didn't realise what a problem this would be. The lift was noisy and I could constantly hear it during my stay, this is one reason that I would never stay in that particular room again.
The room cost €89.10 booked with Booking.com room only. It was nicely decorated, with a good king-sized bed, it had good air-conditioning, nice decor (reminiscent of a Park Inn by Radisson), luggage storage area, mirrors, wardrobe, safe, mini-bar, storage cupboards, flat screen Phillips TV, plenty of plug sockets, a table computer, desk, chair, lamps, comfy chair, clock radio, and Juliette balcony. As I had booked a single room, I was given a single duvet, one large pillow and on small pillow. I found this a little on the mean side.
The bathroom had a window to it from the bedroom, and I never worked out if the glass would go opaque or not, it's really quite voyeuristic if not! The bathroom was nice and airy and clean, the shower was unfortunately over a bath.
The toilet was in a separate room, but unfortunately there was no sink in this room, meaning that all toilet users have to use the door handle without washing their hands, I find this quite disgusting. It is very unhygienic and leads to germ transference.
Apart from that I found the room to be very nice, I liked it a lot and was quite satisfied with it.
I decided to go for a swim, I took advice from reception as to how to get to the pool from my room, unfortunately the pool was a LONG walk away, down LOTS OF STEPS. Top tip, if you are staying at this hotel in the 'upper block', ignore the instructions from reception, go to the 5th floor, walk through the gym (getting a free bottle of water en-route), outside across the deck past the spa bath (be careful if the deck is wet), enter the other door, and take that lift down to the pool. It will save you a 5 minute walk down about 10 flights of stairs.
The pool was very nice, not huge, but it had fully functioning hydro pumps and a bubble spa area. It was very nice to swim in, and I had a very enjoyable swim in there. The poolside shower was also very good.
The hotel has a biergarten, which was very nice, as was the bar. The beer prices (€4.50 for half a litre of pilsner) were quite reasonable for a hotel.
The breakfast buffet cost extra (€15.00), but was a little treat to myself, and it was very nice with an excellent selection. The restaurant was comfortable, and I had a good view of the trains crossing the Südbrucke.
Upon checking out of the hotel, I walked through the Stadtpark to Mainz Römisches Theater railway station, and it was on this side of the hotel, that I realised that I had been given an inferior room, as the rooms on the park side of the hotel have full balconies and a nice view. Furthermore, they are away from the noisy lift. If I were to stay at this hotel again, I would INSIST on having a room on a high floor, with a park view, well away from the elevator.
In summary, this is an excellent hotel, and I did very much enjoy my stay here. I would certainly stay here again if I was visiting Mainz in future, but I would make a more informed room choice at the time of booking, and I would take the quick route to the swimming pool!

Hydrogen: Energy for a New Age - Visit 3 -EnergiePark Mainz, Germany
Mainz is one of the oldest cities in Europe but it is thoroughly up to date when it comes to the Hydrogen Society.
Mainz was the 3rd stop on the tour. This was the chance to visit a truly innovative project that had been initiated by Linde AG, Siemens AG, Hochschule RheinMain and the Mainzer Stadtwerke AG. The aim: to power vehicles (and more) with energy from the wind.
The process is called power to gas, and as with the installation in Hamburg, EnergiePark Mainz uses renewable electricity produced by the neighbouring wind turbines to produce hydrogen by electrolysis. It has an annual output of 200 tons as from 2017 onwards, enough to refuel a Mirai more than 40,000 times.
Hydrogen can be produced sustainably and stored onsite. It can then either be:
– transported to refuelling stations where it can be used to fuel hydrogen vehicles,
– injected into the gas grid to replace by up to 10% the natural gas used for heating or cooking for example. This one act can considerably reduce CO2 emissions with no need for a change in the existing infrastructure.
– or used for what we call grid balancing. This is where the hydrogen can be converted back into electricity, enabling us to use intermittent wind energy when we actually need it and avoid restarting a traditional power plant for example. Genius!
But don’t take our word for it, listen to the experts.

This was the first time I heard John Gorka live. But many years ago, in 2009 and 2010, I heard songs of him performed by a friend of mine on the island of Samos in Greece. Here is a link to one of those videos we then recorded on Samos:
