A ship going up the Rhine and a ship going down the Rhine.
In the era when there was no power of the steam engine, internal combustion engine, etc. the ship moving towards upstream was not easy. How did the old people move the ship toward upstream?
Did people use the sailboat or pull? If they pull it, they needed many labors.
Who provided the labors?

At the campsite reception, in the campsite, I can place a tent where I can. It was said that I was looking around, but there are not quite suitable places.

Everyone brings a motorhome and lives in it. I was not comfortable putting a tent next to the motorhome, so I looked further and found a camping person with a bicycle next to the tent.

"Hello", I asked if I could set up a tent here.
"Ok you are welcome"
