The following day we carried on down through the Mosel valley to our next destination in Trier, Germany, drawn here because of the amazingly preserved Roman buildings and ruins. In particular, Porta Nigra, standing tall as the portico into Trier city centre and the Kaisertherma or thermal baths. And...

Day 11-12 : Mosel Valley, Germany
From having not a drop of rain, we have woken up to a deluge again. Dank u well. The poor people at last night’s Andre Rieu concert must have had a torrid old time. Is it awful to be grateful that it wasn’t us? It was time for us...
