The relationship portrayed is sweet.

But the poor geography spoiled the story for me. And that is something I've never had the occasion to complain about before. Firstly, the Rhine does not flow to Romania. It flows from Switzerland to Germany and then the Netherlands and the North Sea. The Danube flows from Germany to Romania, but not through all of the cities mentioned. Heidelberg lies on neither the Rhine nor the Danube. And so on.

I've spent a fair portion of my life on or around the Rhine. I love that river and the towns on it more than just about any place else on earth. In fact, the only reason I clicked your story was the hope to read a tale about someplace I might have been. So you know I was disappointed by what I found.

I have no tolerance for laziness from writers. In less than 1% of the time it took you to write this, you could have checked a map or Google Earth. Why even bother with geographical details when you won't take two minutes to at least "fake it"? Inexcusable.

Enough said.
