Moseying down the Mosel

 Well, I haven't posted in a while because I've been so busy!!! Here's some photos of the day we went on the ferry ride down the Mosel to Bernkastel...which is also the day we got left out in the rain waiting for Robert.


Look at the "duckies" following their mother!

All of the hills are lined with vineyards. These people use every possible speck of land to grow grapes.

We got to stop at this thing that locks us in and lets water in from the higher side of the river. You raise up and then the gate lowers and then you go on your way.



This is the boat's side mirror, that it uses to look for boats coming up behind when it wants to pass...

The gate is lowering now...notice the stop light to the right.



Sheila and Robert had met the boat's captain the night before and we just happened to get onto his boat. He invited us up to the captain's cabin-thing and we all got to sit in the captain's seat. 

Bernkastel

Do you see this plate? I ate an entire pizza the size of this plate. I forgot to get a picture beforehand, so here's the after picture. It was a great spinach pizza.





After hurrying through lunch, we crossed this bridge to get to the roundabout where we said we'd meet at 2 o'clock. Robert thought we said 3...so we waited in the rain, got some ice cream and waited some more....
