Trip to Europe May 18 to May 31, 2002  ---  Page 3

Monday, May 20, 2002: Moselkern, Burg Eltz, Cochem - Continued
After a shower and a short nap at our hotel, we hiked back to the station to take the train up the river to the big(ger) town of Cochem.  From a distance we can see their restored castle on a hill overlooking the town, but given the condition of our feet, we weren't even thinking of hiking up there!
After some wandering, we find a restaurant overlooking the river, and have a delightful dinner of schnitzel (and watch the neighboring restaurant close at 6:30!).  Skipping dessert for the moment, we wander along the river, enjoying watching the locals enjoying the holiday (Pentecost).
 
We hop the train back to Moselkern, stopping to take some pictures of a local cemetery with tiny manicured gardens at each gravesite.  Back at our hotel we have some dessert (strawberry shortcake and cream and chocolate ice cream - yum!).  Satisfied with such a good day with sightseeing and exercise, we retire early again.
