The Moselle Valley

Firstly, I've added the pictures to yesterday's post on Bruges.  From Bruges we travelled to Cochem, which is on the side of the Moselle River, between Trier and Koblenz.  It's a pleasant little town, with a castle above it.  The castle, like a number in the region was at least partially destroyed by Louis XIV, so it was been refurnished in the nineteenth century and is therefore, to my mind, not quite as exciting as a proper medieval castle.  Nevertheless it looks very pretty at night.  The hill up to it is very steep.
