Thursday October 5th – Day 13, Kinheim, Beilstein, Cochem, Walporzheim, Ahrweiler It was Thursday in week two so we were on the move again as we began a slow haul towards home. I did manage to get a run in that morning, down to the Enkirch lock and back, with a head wind all the…

Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 12
Wednesday October 4th – Day 12, Traben-Trarbach, Kinheim, Minheim We got off to a very slow start as it was another foggy morning. We were also not in a hurry as Lynne had decided that she really needed a pedicure and manicure and that this would be a good time to do it. I’d expected…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 10
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…
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…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 6
Thursday September 28th – Day 6, Urzig, Wehlen Thursday was devoted to some localised sightseeing and some serious wine tasting and buying that saw us range up and down the river as far as Urzig and Wehlen (about 3k in either direction from Zeltingen) after a morning of museums. The morning started with another run…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 5
Wednesday September 27th – Day 5, Bernkastel-Kues After slightly more driving than anticipated the day before we decided we’d take it easier on Wednesday and would spend the day pottering gently round Bernkastel-Kues, just 5k down the road. It was another foggy morning but we weren’t going to let that stop us. It boded well…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 4
Tuesday September 26th – Day 4, Burg Eltz, Burg Pyrmont and Burg Thurant Tuesday turned out to be all about the castles, one of the things people tend to think of first when they think of German tourism. Lynne had demanded castles and so I was keen she should get them! The plan was to…
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…
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…
