This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 36-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
Today’s travel notes
Yesterday, me and the TC took a trip to the Rhine Falls (Rheinfall), the most power waterfall in Europe based on rate of flow. Although the Rhine Falls are in Switzerland, our train passed through a bit of Germany on the way there.
The book I’m in
Bleed for Me, by Michael Robotham. A good who-dunnit investigated by a flawed psychologist, a cop, and an ex-cop. This worm is eating through the book with great enjoyment.
Travel tips
There’s a good chance of getting damp, even if it’s not raining.

Me hanging out at the Rheinfall:
Imagine you’re travelling down the Rhine, a leisurely ride on a boat, birds tweeting, sun shining, the gentle river flowing strong but smooth. Then, as you round a bend, suddenly there’s a roaring in the air and the river drops down by 23 metres right in front of you.
Here’s what the Rhine Falls look and sound like from the river bank:
A still view from the same spot:
How small that yellow boat looks! Intrepid travellers can take a ride on one of these boats. Be prepared to get wet:
The first viewing point is a short stroll from the train station, down a pretty street:
I’ll close this post with another shot of yours truly at the local water spigot:
That’s all for today, folks.
