Mossel Valley, Germany

Lepas aje dari Luxembourg, since tak banyak tempat boleh pergi, we all terus headed for the Mossel Valley, which lies between Trier & Koblenz in Germany. Ni tempat orang tanam anggur.. and produce wine la tapi tu ler... would be much better in the summer... masa winter ni, apa pun tarak!!!


Welcome to Germany!!! Crossing the border la ni!


Pemandangan dari dalam kereta on the way to the valley.....


Meen duk terceruk dalam keta... dah penat duduk kat seat lah tu!

Most of the following photos banyak yang ambik from a moving car... except for some obvious ones where we stopped for a breather..... check it out!

Mentioned something about Mosel Valley... .and a typical German-looking houses
Ni la what Mosel Valley is famous for.... grapes (I think more for winery)... first stop at Alf
One of the views across the canal..... and the motel

These birds come in flocks... by the time we stopped to take photos, all these birds come flocking.. for food?


Tengok la ni seme.....











It's a REALLY happening place kalau masa summer la...

Luxembourg

12/11/2007: Lepas habis kat Mini Europe ni, kitorang pun bersedia lah nak gi ke our next destination.... Luxembourg!

We started, biasalah, dah towards petang - around 3-4pm! And it would take us at least 2-3 hours to reach Lux.

Kitorang sampai the Centrum area dah gelap la, seperti biasa... tapi Lux ni, memang cantik!!! Full of castles on the hilltops... tapi dah malam, tak nampak ape la!! Cuma buildings with lights je... menarik tempat ni ek?! It's a small country but almost-fully French! Alamak... dah le French dah berkarat! Diorang ni pulak speaks "un pue" (very little) English.... aduhhhhh!

This is the family room (with additional bed kat hujung tu)... and the bathroom

The shower area..... and the IBIS hotel (and our car) on the outside
Mula2 tu, bila gi Centrum area, Fadel sorang je gi amik gambor pemandangan (and parked the car on side)... tapi tu la, yang tak bestnya, all the castles tutup masa winter season ni so boleh tengok dari luor je la.... Kalau masa summer, boleh masuk lagik! Tak de rezeki la ni... but do enjoy the view!


Dah pusing keliling Centrum - which took us only a matter of less than 1 hour... kitorang balik semula ke tempat yang sama, park the car & amik gambar lagi. tapi ni je la area dia....


This is one of the outstanding buildings kat Lux.. tapi tak sure lak untuk apa. And Haikal & me. Masa ni sejuk giler!!!!
Haikal with Abah.............................and another angle with moi
Cantik the bridges kat sana.... memang nampak dah "berumur" lah kan?
Haikal ni, ada je peminat (actually minah ni mintak tolong amikkan gambor dia...) and yet another view of Lux
Masa ni dah gigil betul dah Haikal sampai macam nak nangis so we drop him in the car & we all jalan2 cari tourist info
Gambo ngan map kena amik... proof la kekonon!
Ni le the tourist info center....... ingat nak cari Hard Rock Cafe... tapi takde kat Lux!!!
Dah turun kat sini, memula tu nak amik gambo je tapi nampak la pulak signage to the tourist info... tu yang terus gi. Ingat nak cari HRC tapi takde. Lepas tu tak bawak duit tapi nak jugak la cari souvenir (at least fridge magnet kan?) and Fadel didnt have breakfast so the only cash he had, most of it dah beli kebab (lagi!!!!)... tapi korek punya korek, dapat lah 1 fridge magnet for the house!!
"Ville de Luxembourg".... and in front of the information area
The view from another angle..................and Meen from inside the car. Masa ni Haikal dah menangis sebab kena tinggal.........tapi kan ke dah sejuk sangat tadi...
Dah lepas ni, our next destination is.......... Mossel Valley!!!
