Today was the first day of actual cycling, leaving Saarburg and heading on to Trier. Took a little bit of getting used to, riding these touring bikes. They are a little more unwieldy than our mountain bikes and wouldn’t you know it, Irv fell off his. Fortunately into a grass covered ditch, but he did something to his upper thigh when he fell. He did manage to tough it out for the rest of the day though! Before we left Saarburg we paid a visit to the town’s waterfall, then on to start the cycle route. First part of the route was through a grape growing region, where vines grow right down the hillside to the water’s edge. It amazed us how challenging it would be to harvest those grapes. Kept cycling on past the place where the Saar joins forces with the Moselle. On through many picturesque towns and villages - Schoden, Kamzem, Hamm, Konz, to name but a few. Then a short ferry ride across the Moselle from Oberbillig to Wasserbillig, in Luxembourg. A stop for a coffee and lunch, then onward! Mer and I made a quick detour into Igel to check out the column which dates back to 250AD. Still pedalling along the Moselle, we finally reached Trier, our destination for the day. Another wonderful meal, a walk along the waterfront, and that put paid on another day!
