Piesporter and Mosel wine

We left Saarburg on Sunday morning and popped into Luxembourg to 'tanken' up with deisel. Its only 1.15 euro compared to 1.45 in Germany so queues at the pump every Sunday morning. We are now a short way down the Moselle at Piesport(er) in a very comfortable Reisemobile Stelleplatz right by the river. These are effectively small campsites for motorhomes rather like the French aires and there are plenty of them on the tourist routes.  Met some Brits there, first ones for a couple of weeks - they were from Wales.

Enjoyed our first wine country 'dish of the day' for Sunday lunch with the excellent house (literally) Reisling. The Moselle route could take some time, but it is about 100 miles to its junction with the Rhine and there are lots of wine list places to stop off and try!

Very slow winding river with dams, locks and river boats. Some big commercial barges and other cruise boats.
