Today we left the city and made our way to Kamp-Bornhofen, a small town along the Rhine River. We are staying in a castle!! But more on that later. First we have some sightseeing to do.
Our first stop is Berg Eltz. A beautiful castle owned by the same family for over 800 years. It was a fun 1.3 km walk through the woods to get to the castle.
We enjoyed our tour in English here.
Once inside, we could take no photos, so all I can post is this selfie we took in the courtyard waiting for our tour.
Our next stop was along the Mosel River. We ended up taking a ferry from one side of the river to the other to walk around in a town called Bielstein. Talk about beautiful quaint "fairytale" place. We keep saying it's like being in Disney.
One last shot of Bielstein and its castle from our ferry ride back across the river to our car.
And now we head to our "castle" to check in.
The entry way. Our room for the first 2 nights here is in the peak of the white section of the hotel.
The view from our bedroom window.
Looking out the other direction from a window in the sitting area of our room.
An extra canopy bed in the sitting area room.
Ok. We checked in and now it's time for dinner. We found a nice place right on the river, outside to drink some local wine and eat more pork!
Our appetizer, it's a flatbread pizza-like thing with a big long German name.
The sunset was beautiful tonight.
Forgot to look at the last July days! Wow! Enough said.
