Driving in the Rain.... We’re Driving in the Rain...... March 16 ,17 & 18, 2024 We wake up to the rooster crowing, well that’s what Kirsten says. I had my ears out, LOL. I roll out of bed and stumble into the shower; I hear Kirsten say hurry up I have today’s agenda planned. WHAT! I thought we were going to lay around and rest today? We were until the sun came out, now I have things for us to do. So, hurry up, breakfast is ready. I’m showered and dressed, eating my breakfast as Kirsten tells me about our day. First, were going to Brauhaus Kloster Machern. Where there is a museum that has Tour de France bicycle exhibit. OK, you’ve got my attention. Second, we’re going to the village Cochem wher... read more

"when we accept life as it is, we can respond appropriately to the way we are experiencing it, rather than just reacting out of fear and aversion " Ajahn Sumedho My son visited Bernkastel Keus many years ago with his friend and family. They took a friend with them every holiday for company for their boy and this particular year it was my sons turn . He sent a postcard to my mum and she kept it. We found it after she died . The picture was of the half timbered buildings of Bernkastel Kues. I wondered what he thought of this town on the Moselle . Would a 14 year old be impressed? Probably not . We were still in the wine growing region with the vines clinging to the hillsides. We were tootling along. ... read more

Looking for all the "EST" Bump the boat jars against the dock. It’s 6am and the assistant Captain to the ASSISTANT Captain is at the wheel. Everyone has to learn to park the boat sometime. It just happens to be today. I roll out of bed and make my way to my breakfast spot in the front of the boat. Good morning Mr. Vaughan, dids you’s like jour vakeup call? Ya Ya Ya We all are laughing as he’s pouring me cup of coffee and the boat lurches again. Kirsten joins me and we have a nice quite breakfast after the boat was finally tied up. After breakfast we stroll off the boat and into town. Bernkastel is a cute village on the Mosel River. Its village square is surrounded with half-timber houses clustered together like ... read more

After our heavy dinner the night before, we decided to start the day with a nice jog along the Mosel River Walk. What a beautiful way to see a little more of this gorgeous area while this charming little village was just coming to life. (Although, admittedly there was a part of me that thought staying in bed and admiring the Reichsburg Castle seemed like an equally adequate way to enjoy the start of our third day in Germany!) After a nice breakfast at the hotel, we loaded up our suitcases (no east feat in itself considering my heavy packing tendencies and the extended duration of our trip!) We hit the road and spent the next few hours driving along the Mosel River towards Trier with stops in several of the little villages along the way. ... read more

For the next adventure, we stayed at an apartment in the picturesque village of Bernkastel-Kues. The village itself is on the Mosel River and seems to be a magnet for tourists and retirees. The first night, we wandered into the village and discovered a band playing in the centre town square. They were belting out english tunes and the crowd was really enjoying it, as we did. The next day, we hit the road to go to one of the most well preserved castles in Germany - Eltz Castle. This is one of the few castles that was not destroyed since the various sections were built. It was beautiful and the hiking in the area was well marked and provided good exercise and views. The path led us next to Trier. A great historical location, we ... read more

Hep aşina yerler ..Biraz dolanıp, kürt kardeşimizin işlettiği bir lokantada, oldukça zengin bir menü aldık. Kürt kardeşimiz gelip, bizimle tanıştı birbirimize saygılar yolladık..

Now in the Mosel wine region and the lanscape, culture and tourist's have changed. It's g one from young families to old wino's like us. Drive today was about 2 hours in total so a fairly relaxed day. After a cycle to the town and a walk around we settled in for the evening with Chris on the laptop, Sue head in her puzzle book and me doing Blog and facebook. Camp site is right on the river so its been quite nice watching all the river traffic as the sun set behind the hills. No fixed plan for tomorrow so just a few more miles to get out the way to get closer to Spa on Friday. Excitement growing and crossing fingers for the weather.... read more

We are really sticking out with our French numberplate. All what you see here is German & Dutch ones. Unbelievable busy with holiday makers and we must say, it is like walking in Holland. Also lots of Belgiums, but they sound like they come from Limburg. We went the next day again to Bernkastel just looking at the masses of people, that walk around aimlessly. Carrying backpacks, holding kids and have dogs on the line. The kids do not really want to be there but are bought by ice creams, or lollies. Very amusing to see how they go about it. We also walked around, looking at all the shops that have their wares stalled out in the already very small streets. You even see so now and than a car wurming it's way through there ... read more

It is such a pity to leave our nice place at the Rhine, but the time keeps ticking, so we can only hope the next place is just as nice. We had to take the ferry to the other side of the Rhine to visit Braubach that has this magnificent castle that is completely intact. The name of it is the Marktsburg. We were there early so we had a park for the car but not early enough to go up to the castle for the round trip took three hours and that much time we did not have. We took some nice pictures of Braubach so the visit was well worth it. The GPR sent us to the autobahn but we ignored it and did our own thing. That of course did not work but ... read more

Geo: 49.911, 7.06647 GUN 11 GUNLERDEN PAZARTESİ Cochem dönüşü şu Nermin'e kötü davrandığımı hissettim. Vicdan azabından kıvranıyorum. Ona bir şans vermeğe karar verdim ve Cochem dönüşü için "hızlı yol" komutunu verdim.. Vay anam vay... senmisin Nermin'e uyan ...beni nerelere götürdü inanamazsınız.yol hızlı olmasına hızlı ama in cin olmayan yerlerden geçiyorum. Ormanlara dalıyorum. Oradan yaylalara tırmanıyoruz.. Ciddi virajlara giriyoruz. Dua ediyorum Allah'tan Ayşe yok yanımda.. Her şey bir yana bu yoldan gerçekten çok keyif aldım. Nermin kötü ama yol güzel...Tam motorsiklet yolu... Ayşeciği özlemişim sıcak bir karşılama oldu. Azıcık içkiler içtik ve yemek yemeğe Kues'e gitmeğe karar verdik. Artık yolu ezbere biliyoruz. Az sonra Kues'e vardık. Aracımızı nehi... read more
