So here we are, beginning of July, past couple of weeks wizzed past, what have we done with our time?
From Saarburg we headed back down the Saar River onto the Moselle River & headed back up to Grevenmacher for a few nights then back up to Remich on the 26th June. The locks are shut for maintenance for at least 9 days and we wanted to be in the best possible place for when Le Tour passes through Luxembourg.
Wine tasting with Karen and Erik
A few bottles purchased, Knud & Erik stagger under the weight
Knud and Erik off for a ride
Karen cooling off in the Moselle
Tractors are just not only for the fields, also great for caravan pulling, about 5 of of theses set ups paseed by.
More wine tasting and underground cellar tour
Graham, Else and Angela for dinner one evening, amazing how many can fit around the table
About 3 km from where we are moored, over in Germany is an amazing mosaic. The lavish mosaic floor of the Roman vilka in Nenning is one of the most important finds of its kind north of the Alps. This beautiful floor was uncovered by a farmer back in 1852, he notified the authorities in Trier and they took over, building a shelter over it and then they began extensive excavations uncovering a palacial villa whose size & appointments makes it one of the most opulant of its kind in the Roman provinces . The mosaic has been dated to the 3rd century AD.
