Day 3 on tour Bullay to Lewein. Another picture perfect day on the Moselle river. The river was so twisty on this day that our mileage of 48.3 was fully three times the mileage as the crow flies.
What a sight first thing in the morning in the center of the village!
Just after setting out we crossed over a bridge to climb up to monastery above the river and the vineyards. I don't know how they work these vines it's so steep.
We came across this thing called a fusbath, or foot bath, at the towm we stayed the night in. It was filled knee deep with ice cold water that you walked around in like my dad is doing here. You were supposed to lift your foot all the way out of the water each time you stepped. My brother, who for some reason knows about these things, siad that the locals believe they have theraputic value. Included as a bonus was a smaller waist high tank for your arms. I have to admit that after a long day of riding it felt really good.
This is the view from my hotel room.
Another fine day capped off with our favorite ritual.
