Trier, Germany
Join your tour group in Trier to view the 11th Century Romanesque
Cathedral. If you are coming from Luxembourg City remember to get off
at the second stop. I didn't and had quite an adventure with a French
woman who had to get a connecting train.
This city is pretty old-2000 years old. It was named
the "Rome of the North". You will see plenty of
Roman ruins including Porta Negra, the last of four
remaining gates into the city.
This relief was found
when they were
excavating for a below
ground restaurant where
we ate a scrumptious
dinner.
Replica of a Roman Burial Monument. See the wine barrels.
