Feeling frustrated & going around in circles with our German adventure, we decided to “stay away” for a few days. We had a massive planning session to plot our journey down south. First stop though, we decided to go back to Luxembourg (the country not the City). After driving through 4 countries in 2 hours, we arrived in Vianden. What a beautiful place. We took the chairlift to the viewing point over the town. Found a site just outside of the town, so we parked up, enjoyed a few hours in the sun then walked back along the L’Our river back to the town to sample the wine from the left bank of the Moselle. The next morning, it was time to move on! In just under an hour we were in Remich on the Moselle, with Germany just across the river. On the way in we passed another “Fuel Eldorado” with 11 petrol stations within a couple of kilometres. The fuel being 25 cents a litre cheaper than in Germany. The traffic was queuing from the German side to fill up. Weather was lovely, so we wandered along the promenade with the river on one side & vineyards on the other. As we drove in one of us (whose name begins with a G), spotted the mini golf! By mutual consent we agreed to play later in the afternoon. We set off full of anticipation, however half way there (the walk was only about 8 minutes) we felt spots of rain. The next minute we were in a downpour & thunderstorm that lasted all evening. Luckily though at the halfway point was a “Tiny Bar” so we stopped to dry off! In the evening we booked the two bucket list items on our list & hammered the credit card. It was also decided we would give Koblenz a second shot.
