To continue the relaxing with wine theme we ventured into the Moselle Valley to a place called Trier, the oldest city in Germany. Two legs of our train trip, between Mainz and Koblenz and then from Koblenz through the Valley to Trier, offered up some of the best scenery that we'd seen in such a concentrated period.
The first day we just wandered around the city to check out the sights and get our bearings. Nothing too much of note here apart from the little beauty below. A little donut cross profiterole pastry that oozed perfect custard.
The following day we started of with the breakfast of champions at Kartoffelrestaurant Kiste (they specialise in potatos). Our final breakfast in Germany consisted of gratinated potatos with bacon and mushrooms, mashed potatos combined with sauerkraut with two slabs of smoked ham on top and a very healthy dollop of mustard, and local Moselle wine. Words don't do these creations justice.
And to make sure we'd made the most of our Moselle experience we had a couple more at a little wine bar and then a few more at a pop up wine bar in the main square where we got to try federweißer - fermented freshly pressed grape juice - which was excellent!
And that was Trier.
