Monday October 2nd – Day 10, Burg Arras, Manderscheid, Traben-Trarbach We woke up to a very foggy morning, with the other side of the valley shrouded in mists. The castle/hotel didn’t get any less odd in the morning, though they provided a perfectly good breakfast. Our bill was handwritten on a sheet of mathematics exercise…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 9
Sunday October 1st – Day 9, Piesport, Erden, Burg Arras We were moving on so the morning was spent going round in circles attempting to figure out how to fit all the wine boxes and the luggage into the car, without endangering any bottles, and keeping our bags where we’d be able to get them…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 8
Saturday September 30th – Day 8, Wehlen, Bernkastel-Kues, Lieser, Minheim, Piesport, Trittenheim, Urzig After the brilliant weather all week we woke up to rain and grey skies on Saturday morning, but that was OK, as we were off on the wine trail again. That morning we were – or at least we thought we were…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 7
Friday September 29th – Day 7, Trier We’d promised ourselves a second day in Trier, and having discovered that there were some interesting events going on on Friday we figured that would be the best day to do it on. Instead of heading out on the riverside road, we opted to take the quick route…
Food 2017 – Saxler’s Restaurant, Hotel St. Stephanus, Moselle Road Trip, Day 6
Thursday September 28th – Day 6, Saxler’s Restaurant And so, as planned the day before, we duly presented ourselves at Saxler’s Restaurant in the Hotel St. Stephanus for what promised to be a far better dinner than we’d had the night before! Not that that would have been difficult. The charming lady, who I suspect…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 3
Monday September 25th – Day 3, Trier, Neumagen-Dhron, Veldenz, Zeltingen-Rachtig On Monday we were still with the Romans, starting the day at the Amphitheatre, which was just down the road from our hotel. The day again started with fog on the heights, and it was chilly and damp, which may have been why we pretty…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 2
Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…
Food 2017 – Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau And so to dinner on the very first day of the holiday. I’m not sure why but I was a bit surprised on looking at dining options for the hotel to discover that in addition to a hotel restaurant, and a bistro-type establishment,…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 1
Saturday September 23rd – Day 1, Eurotunnel, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany And so the long awaited “big” holiday of 2017 rolled around and after much complicated planning we were off to spend two weeks (almost) meandering along the course of the Mosel (or the Moselle as the Brits call it), visiting castles, implausibly pretty little…
Food 2017 – More Local Food Options, Northamptonshire
These reviews result from being asked to help out with a series of mystery shopper trips to pubs lined up for some local food awards. The deal was we would be told where to go, and would pay for our own meals. As a result of needing to use the report forms, these reviews may…
