Week 05: 2001.08.11-12 Mosel Valley  

One of the most enjoyable trips. Rented a bike, ambitiously wanted to cycle up the damn valley but stopped when the sun started to set and weather turned cold. We only managed to cycle thru a few towns and villages, and tried the chicken and duck talk when finding a guest house, especially when none could speak English there. Took train from Trier to Cochem, on bike to Zell, on boat to Traben Trabach and back to Cochem via train.
