Mosel Valley

Todays blog is brought to you by the words Pretty, Amazing, Beautiful (and the letter P). That pretty much sums up the Mosel Valley. It is amazingly beautiful, as we have driven along the road by the river we have just been admiring the scenery, the sides of the valley are all planted with grapes, there must be milions of vines along the place. Just the area around the village of Zell had 6 million vines.



We are staying in Cochem this evening, we had Schnitzel out for dinner which was really yummy and drank a bottle of Mosel Reisling which was lovely, a very sweet wine but very drinkable :)

All the towns are so pretty too, they have loads of old buildings with elabourate timber decorations and ruined castles on the hill tops everywhere. Plus the backdrop of forest and vineyards and the very still and large Mosel River flowing throught it. Each cute slate roofed town on the river side had a tall steep stepled church pointing up in the middle. Really, beautiful doesnt quite describe it, it is great and we are loving it.
