2017 Manchester to Crete
Published on 27 July , 20174 Comments on Day 13-14 : Trier, Germany

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...

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...

We woke up the following morning with the sun beaming away but as the free stopover etiquette is to stay only 1 night (to allow everyone a chance), we had a leisurely breakfast and set off for a brief sourjourn into the mountains at a stopover in La Roches-en-Ardenne. ...

After a really late arrival in Brugge at 3:15am, we finally parked up in the motorhome parking lot and fell into bed.  We woke up to sunny skies (well, there were a few high white clouds but whose counting?) and as it was already 10:30, we decided to shower...
