We stayed at same site as JockandRita right near Saarburg. Lovely site - a very easy bike ride from the site to the town. Very pretty old town with water falls and lots of restaurants. We would definitely recommend a stay there for a few days.

We are back on the Mosel from our little jaunt to Geneva. We travelled up over the Jura mountains to Millery and are parked up for the night on the tiny aire there before trundling up to Luxembourg tomorrow for fuel for the trip home.

is it worth the diversion adds about 100 miles to the trip ?

As we dont use toll roads, there is nothing in it, but we do have long range fuel tanks and I require tobacco. If I fuel up in Luxembourg I can get home to Liverpool with enough to get me back down to almost Canterbury on the way out again.

Headed up the River Saar and stayed 2 nights in the Stellplatz at Saarburg. Nice Stellplatz and town.
Sunday we went to a wine festival in a local village. We were supposed to go by train but ended up on a bus replacement service. Told the driver where we wanted to go but he did not let us off even though we stood by the door! Dropped us at next town where we waited half an hour for a bus back! Festival had some nice wine and home made food.
Monday we went into the pretty town centre and had an excellent lunch, followed by a cable car ride up the adjacent mountain.
Enjoyed the company of Bill and Lyn, @BILL 875 and Simon and Maggie @dabhand
Weather has turned nasty today, cold with squally showers So now back on the Moselle and holed up in the Stellplatz at Mehring. Got a nice pitch overlooking the river

Hi there. Glad your wine is good. Just a quick question - did you find the info for the foam insert for your “cocktail” cabinet.

Hello Peeps. 
We stayed over at the Open Air Museum at Munster yesterday, and had a walk into the town (not on the Mosel, I know
). It is a beautiful town, and beats Dortmund hands down for scenery, architecture, and character. 
It became cold and damp, and I nearly swapped my shorts for longs, however, after a 6 x hour drive, we are now at Calais for the train back to Blighty, tomorrow morning. It is windy, but pleasantly balmy, so the shorts are staying.........................for now.
Anyone at Spoons in Canterbury tomorrow lunchtime?
Cheers,
Jock & Rita.

Forced to drive 10 miles today. Stopped at Trittenheim just for a cup of coffee and then decided to stay. Much better weather with some sun, so everything looks much nicer. Got another nice spot right on the river.
Had a good lunch in a local restaurant, thanks to TripAdvisor again. And then sat in the sun drinking some of the wine we bought in Mehring yesterday. It's a hard life but somebody has to do it.

Don't think so. We looked at the one on the road down to the river and Aire which was number one on TripAdvisor but decided it was too expensive for lunch. Went up to the one on the main road, called Seminarshof Weinstube, which was good.
