Chocolates to white wine

From Belgium into Germany and a lovely drive alongside the Mosel River. Grape vines everywhere, up the hills and down the dales. Interesting upright vines in some places. Called at Dr Loosen winery at Bernkastel for a tasting at the source of one of our favourite Riesling wines but it was only open by appointment. We then headed for Speyer (and another very quick drive on the motorway). Now that we are in Germany, the driving is even faster, travelling at 140 kmh, being passed like we are standing still.
