I'll be off to Trier, Luxembourg, and Strasbourg for the next ten days. There should be some nice Roman villae in the countryside around Trier, and maybe a castle along the Moselle as well. Luxembourg - both city and country - have a lot of historical remains; definitely including castles. Not to mention some grand dukes who became kings of Bohemia (like the famous Blind John) and Holy Roman Emperors (esp. Charles IV). Strasbourg has a famous minster and a pretty old town.
I had been to Trier in 2006; my first tour with the new digital camera. I was still careful about photographing during the first day, until I realised that the memory card - unlike film rolls - indeed had lots of memory and the batteries lasted a good time as well. But I don't have enough photos of the Porta Nigra; and the Barbara Baths had been closed for renovation, so there is a good reason to return. This time I will visit some of the surroundings as well.
