A selection of photos from Germany and France


Linz on the Rhine

Railway station in Bad Bresig on the Rhine

Out of gas, no electricity, let's have a barbecue!

A pretty building in Sinzig (on the Rhine)

Linz again

Wonderful fountain in Linz with moving limbs on the models.

The car and foot ferry from one side of the Rhine to the other, going to Linz

Pretty delicious on a hot day

The cold water geyser at Andernach

Cannon and balls at Nieuwed (is that the priest or the blasting machine?)



Afternoon tea. Apple pie, cherry pie and coffee cake.

Inside the slate mine- excellent tour

Looking down on Mayern from the top of the schloss


Somw wonderful pottery sculptures from Monreal. I got one for my birthday!

Neef, on the Mosel, our campground  on the right this side of the river, steep vineyards in foreground


A different view of our Neef campsite


Wild blackberries in the Mosel Valley


Vehicle for accessing vineyard. You can't tell but the driver virtually lies on his/her back and heads up the hill like a rocket


The view from part way up the hill on our walk on my birthday. Neef in the background. The Mosel River.
