Hello! How are you doing? I hope you have a nice day. My husband and I have just arrived from our walk at the other side of the Rhine. The day is so beautiful and almost 20°C. There were many people driving with their cars and motorbikes as well as with their bicycles. Germans are following the social distancing of 2 meters. At first, we planned to walk in the forest but then we would not be able to get some vitamin D there so we went to the Rhine. We sat there at the bank of the river and took a lot of photos and videos. It is good to be out again. It seems that we have a wonderful weather this week. Still, we have to stay at home if we don´t have to buy food. We still have a lot to eat here so no worry. Have a lovely Palm Sunday to you all. Thank you and stay safe.

@amitkokiladitya Yes, I have seen some videos from India. They are still walking around there without social distancing.

Yes, we are allowed to go out to take fresh air and buy essential food but we have to do our 2 meters of social distancing and we have to wear a mask. Thank you @amitkokiladitya

The Rhine is so beautiful! I remember the vineyards, castles, and my favorite, Lorelei. Yes, we stayed home too during our beautiful weather.

I have not been to the Lorelei and was planning to do that this summer but Corona came and changed my plan. I want to go with the River Lady boat along the Rhine with my husband. Well, I hope the virus will be gone this year. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

That sounds like a lovely place to walk - here we mustn't drive to beauty spots in order to walk, we must just walk from home.

The Rhine is a bit far from where we live and my hubby can´t walk that far. I could. Have a nice day @jaboUK

Blessed Palm Sunday to you. You're lucky to still be able to go out for a walk together. Have a nice day.

Same to you @almostoveryou. We are allowed to go in twos as in couple but not in groups but there is an exemption if you live in the same household. We are also doing a social distancing of 2 meters. Have a nice day to you, too.

The picture looks great! So are there any restrictions in terms of places you can go to, or places which are closed and not accessible? I hope that things are better in your place now.

@thelme55 Here most people follow the rules but a few mad people's foolishness and irresponsible behavior led to a recent rise, beyond 3000 cases and 100 plus deaths.

@thelme55 And in the process, they not only harm themselves but others too.
