Echternach & Trier

Mike said stop and have a wander around Echternach. So I've had a wander got the missus some tat and now having a coffee. Lots of old buildings and little streets, but according to some tourist blurb the place was smashed in WW2 and alot of it is rebuild but you'd never know.

 



Next stop will be Trier and I follow the N10 along the river to get there,
River Saure - forms the border, Luxembourg(with petrol 20cents/litre cheaper) on the left, Germany on the right
 The thing to see in Trier is the Porta Nigra so thats where I'm going. Its a roman era gate and now slap bang in the middle of the city but I manage to park around the back - the roads are busy and traffic's heavy so once I've had a look I battle my way out - hot work, stop & start and I've got the panniers left on so filtering a bit dodgy as i'm a bit wide for that malarky.

Back gate



Somewhere in the middle
