Iwalked up the winding road to the castle above my hotel. this shot was taken at dusk about 9pm here. Once I headed up the steep walkway, it was deserted, except for me and tons of grape vines. The Castle and most of Germany closes early. 2011
One of the wine tasting bars right behind my hotel. It's close enough to crawl back from, if needed. 2011
I had to test out the bike path across the river on my arrival. The next morning a took of on a short version of the Mosel Cycle route, the part I did is about 45 km (about 32 miles) round trip and 2/3 on one side of the river and 1/3 on the other. The manager at the hotel told me it's spectacular and gave me a map and wrote down the highlights. The Trip starts in Cochem and travels west towards France. You pass through the towns of Ernst, Senhals, Bremm and Beilstein. 2011

While cycling next to the river, I noticed a BMW Isetta coming towards me and then I noticed
it was a parade of them so I stopped the bike and grabbed my camera and managed to get a
picture of a few of them. This is one of my favorite cars ever! 2011
