Goodbye…..
Today it’s Mark’s turn. We moved up the Moselle to Cochem. There were 3 locks all really tight but the sides of the valley were all covered in vines. There were tracks likes continuous ladders going up step sides where small trucks went up to collect the grapes. I thought it was interesting…..
About 2/3 of the way when we had been going too slow because of the traffic ahead the boat had to turn round as the river would not be wide enough later. The rest of the way the captain drove backwards.
So our time on the lovely little town was cut short but enough to buy some local wine and have a beer. Back on board for dinner ( rack of lamb. Lovely). Then leaving back down river overnight to Koblenz. The right way round.
