Chilean Guest0

ceci.JPGThis weekend we got the quick visit of Cecilia, my classmate in Highschool, who made a very extensive tour in east europe.

 

pic_0149.jpg

The hightlights for the forth day were:

  • The castle ruins at Beilstein.
  • Cochem itself, no body of us thought that it could be such a nice town.

After a long breakfast and only 25km we finished our tour at Cochem.

 

pic_0128.jpg

The hightlights for the third day were:

  • The steepest vineyard of the world in Calmont.
  • The most likely biggest Maypole of the world in Ediger.

After change of plans we stayed in Ediger instead of Cochem, mainly because it was getting too much for the children, so we biked only 35 km this day.

The second day highlights:

  • The superb home-made grape juice we got for breakfast, our clossed guess was apple-rhubarb juice
  • The most impresive was the roman wineship in Neumagen.

After 60km, with lunch at Kues, we arrived to today destination Enkirch.

 

pic_0007.jpgWe enjoyed this long weekend biking along the mosel with our friends the Ots from Brussels.

On the first day we met in Trier, we came by train and the Ots by car, and we started biking at 15 o'clock.

The highlights of the day were:

  • We were so lucky to escape an unexpected storm having a glass of local wine in a nice cafeteria along the river
  • We just passed by Detzen when a big ship was going through the lock

and, after 40km, we arrived very late to our destination for this day in Trittenheim.
