This morning we finally have an opportunity to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Mosel River. Once again the weather is warm and sunny, with an expected high of 20 degrees. Perfect for sitting on the top deck and enjoying the scenery. The slopes are lined with vineyards and we wonder how they manage to work on such an incline which looks as though only goats could maneuver. The steep slope offers excellent drainage which makes the wine exceptional. Mosel Rieslings have become the groups new favourite wine. Did I mention the wine is included with our dinner each night. Even the non wine lovers have been converted.
This morning we are treated to German beer, schnaps and sausages. (our morning snack).
Then we head to the dining room for lunch. MMMMM good. Next, a walking tour. After all of the food and beer we are ready to walk some of it off. The ship docks right in the centre of Bernkastel, a charming town with quaint streets surrounded by timbered houses dating back to the 16th century. The ladies enjoyed their tour and shopping in the small boutique shops and are quickly discovering the unique products of the region.
This evening dinner is again a fabulous 2 hour experience with delicious food, delectable wines, excellent service and charming company. After dinner we are treated to a concert performed by local entertainers; La Strada. A very talented trio of young muscians. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music performed by these gifted individuals.
