Eltzburg

We drove to Eltzburg and hiked to the castle and took a tour.  It was pretty amazing.  You hike out to it and most of the way you can't see it, then you come around a corner and there is this amazing view.  

The castle was amazing inside.  Lots of fireplaces and glass windows and weapons and toys.  they had real miniature working cannons that they used as toys.  They had animal heads and skins that the family had shot on a trip to Alaska in the 1800's.  That must of been a long trip for them back then!







Next we stopped at Trier Germany.  It is the oldest town in Germany, we walked around the Black Gate and the Cathedral which is still functioning as a cathedral today.  We couldn't go into Constantine throne room because there was a function going on but everything we saw was amazing.  Also it was fashion week so we saw a fashion show in downtown as we walked between the different historical sites.  


 Everything inside the Black gate was elaborately carved it was amazing!  Although Andrew apparently got bored while we were looking around because he wandered off to see one of the other floors, someone brought him back and now we have to keep a close eye on him all the time because he just thinks he can wander off and see whatever he wants on his own!  

 Sorry I am not more photogenic!  but at least the scenery is good!
