Day 3. Wednesday 12 June: This was a beautiful day as we followed the Mosel River, crossing from one side to the other as irregular intervals.  There were spectacular views of village squashed beteeen the river and the hillside, through Cochem and Zell until we stopped at Bernkastel.  Some couldn't resist the shopping and found a bargain or two.  Others simply wandered, admiring the narrow streets and colourful decorations, with the vineyards just behind.

From there we continued to Trier to see the Porta Nigra and other highlights.

Next stop was Luxembourg for some duty free shopping!  Finally we reached Metz  and then it was out to dinner at a near-by restaurant.
