Bernkastel - Cochem

Rained heavily all night! The grounds this morning were all water logged. The heavy rain is fairly noisey in the van but still a pleasant sound to hear.

We visited the village of Bernkastel this morning - perhaps the most visited village along the Mosel. A delightful village with all the teapot v for the tourist market. There were many cruise boats in with the town bustling with people.

Beautiful Bernkastel
The treat for the day though was ahead of us with the drive along the Mosel towards Zell, and then to Cochem. This has t be one of the best scenic drives we have seen. At every turn the vistas were stunning and the small villages along the Mosel were welcoming. 

 Castle at Cochem
Spent the later part of the day wandering in Cochem before settling on the river bank in Cochem for our overnight.

It has been said that the Mosel Valley is Motorhome heaven!  I can believe this because the German towns welcome motorhome and provide all the faculties needed - perhaps a lesson for UK towns. I would guess the number of motorhomers we have seen today would count on the thousands.
