Today is: | September 19 | ||
We woke up in: | Bernkastel |
||
Geni: Continued cruising along the Mosel River and docked at Bernkastel. We went on a wine tassting tour with the group. Later we walked up to castle ruins (Burgruine Landshut). It was a steep walk up to the castle It was not open to the public, but the view was great. Their language has French influences because it is so close to France. We were told people go to France to eat and go here to shop because France is more expensive.

Notice how steep the vinyards are |

One of the many locks |

Some of the bridges were so low that the captain had to lower the pilot house in order to clear |
Winery where we had a tasting |

If you got caught with a minor issue, you would be chained to the wall where all the towns people would see you shamed |

Climbed up to this castle and took several photos |
