At the end of our Moselle and Rhine Rivers tour we stopped at Burg Eltz, one of the best preserved castles in Germany that dates back to 1157. The castle survived various sieges, and has remained largely unchanged since 1490, with the same beautiful interior decor and furniture put in place by the Eltz families so many years ago. We enjoyed a tour of the castle that showcased about 10 of the 80 rooms. In addition to admiring the paintings, furniture and tapestries, we were impressed by the huge floral arrangements in each room, provided fresh weekly by the Eltz family themselves, who still frequent the castle from time to time.
After the tour, we hiked back to our "new" car, some pics of which are below. We are very fond of this little black '97 hatchback Honda Civic, which zips quickly around roundabouts and we've nicknamed "Trusty" in hopes it lasts us for the next 3 years. The hatchback is perfect for impromptu picnics, as Colin demonstrates below.
