8/25/19-8/26/19 Dudeldorf, Trier, Burg Eltz Castle and Mosel River Valley.

Ok, quick and easy trip across Belgium and into Germany (all freeway, no tolls👍) with Dudeldorf as our destination. Say Dudeldorf three times…Dudeldorf, Dudeldorf, Dudeldorf 😜

Dudeldorf is a very small village located next to a large US Air Force base, Spangdahlem, so the town looks very German, but lots of service people and family’s live here, interesting.

Ok, easy check in to our Airbnb, bakery across the street and beer garden down the street👍It’s a rebuilt garment building, lovely studio.

Then a quick, half hour drive to Trier, several of you might recognize Trier as it’s in the Viking Cruise Ship tour. It’s also a destination for US Air Force people so very US feel to the restaurants, Cajun food in Germany 😳 The city was busy, but not to crowed for a Sunday afternoon with two cruise ships in town.

Lovely city, 8 mile walking tour. This is Hauptmarkt.

Next up, St Peters Cathedral and Church of Our Lady, both gorgeous with great gardens and a long history.

Porta Nigra, built by the Romans as the city’s entry point, it’s as old as the coliseum. Unbelievable what the Romans built.

Then a walk through the huge and manicured Palastgarten.

Ok, up bright and early the next AM to visit Burg Eltz Castle, a privately owned castle about one hour from Dudeldorf. Just stunning 👍

Fascinating tour, did you know the world famous Mosel River Valley, with wine tasting, is just half an hour away, let’s go👍😎

We were not fans of Reisling wine until today. Unbelievably delicious wine. It’s grown in vineyards that grow straight uphill, fascinating.

Fun day, tomorrow a trip to Luxembourg City, in Luxembourg. Rumors are, it’s lovely 🍺😎

Think we might enjoy a little Reisling now. Wish you could join us. It’s 88 and lovely here😎👍
