Bernkastel-Kues

---

5 May 2009

We continued our delightful way down the Mosel to another twin town surrounded by vineyards, Bernkastel-Kues, which had plenty of fine buildings and another ruined castle to walk up to. On the way down from the castle we met a British couple, the first tourists from home we had seen since the start of the trip and amazingly they lived less than a mile away from us in England and had remembered seeing our van parked in the drive when they walked past our house.

For lunch we had grilled perch with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, a mixture we thought would not mix, but it was delicious.

We bought some Mosel wine to take home and then moved on to Trier, the last town on the Mosel before it goes over the border into Luxembourg where we stayed the night.
