After two extremely hot days, it has cooled down and there is some rain in the air, in any case predicted for the morning. We are leaving Neumagen-Dhron today and heading for another beautiful Mosel town, but not sure which.
On the Brötchen run I saw this group of mostly senior people preparing this rowing boat for a trip.
And here they come, have not synchronised the rowing yet, but they did after a while. I suppose they are going down the Mosel? We saw them later at Traben Trarbach.
Passed the town Piesport.
We passed this town with the kids 25 years ago in a tourist boat. They had great fun about the name. They were 4 and 5 years old and thought it was very funny that a town was called Pies!
Passing beautiful towns again. This Mosel River just getting more beautiful, even though it is staring to rain.
Another one. We were planning to stay in Bernkastel but we missed the turnoff to the marina and carried on.
Once again a most amazing place, Traben Trarbach.
Cannot believe the buildings
The marina is about two km round a bend in the river and that is where we have decided to stay.
Arrived at the little Marina just outside the town, no one here, we have to wait for the havnmeister who will come at 5 pm. And it is really raining. We follow the Norwegian weather forecast for Europe and prediction is the rain will stop at 4 pm. So we took out some food and drank some wine and relaxed till the rain stopped.
But at 5 pm it stopped raining and, Hanna, the havenmeister appeared. Happy as anything, full of life and invited us for two glasses of wine from this region. She is the agent for Nimbus, a Swedish boat and sells local wine.
They have everything at this havn, even bikes.
Biked back into town and again just keep taking photos.
Traben taken from Trarbach.
Here we have a Buudha museum. According to Hanna is was built by a local IT-business man who became a Buddhist. I think she said he had over 1000 Buddha statues in the museum.
High cliffs, winding river, charming towns, The Mosel!
There is also a pilgrims route, part of the Camino.
It is known as the Mosel Camimo.
Crossing the bridge.
We have met this couple from the Czech Republic a few times along the way. Invited them over for a glass of wine. A few language barriers but surprisingly easy to communicate.
This dog belongs to one of the permanent boats.
She kept checking in case we had some food. A lovely dog, Weimeraner. First time I have patted one.
