Sunday 15th September 2019 – Boppard, Schloss Rheinfels, Illkirch After an excellent, and beautifully presented, breakfast at the Landgasthof Eiserner Ritter, which made us regret what we’d had for dinner the night before even more, we packed up ready to move on. It was a glorious day, and we had a plan to start by…

Friday, 13th/Saturday, 14th September 2019 – Home to Boppard and Oberwesel, Germany Early in the afternoon, after handing off some outstanding work to a colleague, we set off across country to Hull to catch the overnight P&O ferry to Rotterdam, stopping on the outskirts of Hull to buy a flat (please don’t ask; the short…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 14
Friday October 6th – Day 14 – Ahrweiler, Bad Neuenahr, Ligneuville Now we really were on the last part of the journey, where we would leave Germany and spend a night at our old favourite stomping ground in Belgium, close to Spa-Francorchamps, before catching an overnight ferry back to the UK. First however, we planned…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 13
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 11
Tuesday October 3rd – Day 11, Zell an der Mosel An early-ish run saw me head down the river towards Rissbach, and its lovely timber-framed houses. There was a detour to avoid a tree marked as having a hornets’ nest in it, and a slight loss of direction at the camp site (I was slightly…
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…
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…
