BERNKASTEL

Bernkastel on the Mosel, beautiful picturesque town, only 1076 inhabitants. Arrived late in the morning so we had a lay in - first this holiday. Went on a walking tour with Marita. Had to delay the start because it was tipping it down. We learnt about the wine, she told us not to touch them. They start out fairly normal in the early evening,  go to bars, have a skinful, move on to the next bar, drink even more & by 2am they can only walk on their hands & knees. After about 20 mins it started to pour & we ducked into a church. The whole interlude was enlivened when one of our fellow guests burst into song - tenor, wow, very impressive in the large church 

Tommy the zither entertained us the other day. That instrument sure is something to play. Right hand thumb picks the 6 lead guitar strings while left hand forms chords/notes. Pretty normal, meanwhile first 2 finger right hand play rhythm guitar & second 2 fingers right hand play bass guitar. Wow, I can't even pick my nose without sticking a spare finger in my eye.
