Bernkastel

A couple of weeks ago two friends, Alison and Melissa, and I went to a small town on the Moselle in Germany called Bernkastel. It's a ridiculously picturesque town surrounded by hills of grape vines and full of incredible half-timber centuries old architecture. There is also abundant wine and wiener schnitzel to be consumed.

The town, as we were crossing the Moselle, on foot.



Some of the old, lovely buildings in the main square.



Some German "fashion".


Kitten anyone?


Melissa and Flanders on the left, ALison and Isetta on the right. All in one of the many alleys that lead from the village to the surrounding hills and
grape vines.


Melissa looking into a shop with some locally-made pottery.


Jesus stomping grapes. He did so much in his time! Walking on water, proliferating loaves and fishes, and making wine too! Wow!


Leaving the town as it started to rain (good timing!).



A very friendly gent offered to take our photo. We had stopped to have one more bottle of sparkling wine. Cheap and good.
