Friday  25 May travelled by train to Trier on the Mosel River in Germany and stayed for 2 nights.
Today was the start of a long weekend in Germany to celebrate the Pentecost so there was a lot of visitors in Treier for the weekend and accommodation was very limited. Stayed in a very small room in a small hotel which was only 100 metres from the town centre and had good views of the Mosel Valley.

Treier is the oldest town in Germany having been set up by the Romans in the year 2AD.

There are  parts of the Roman buildings still standing over 2000 years later such as the Porta Nigra or Black Gate which was the gate to the city at that time. It is hard to believe that this structure was so old. It was only 100 metres from our hotel and we could see it out the hotel room.

There are the remains of the city wall at various places around the city that in Roman times encircled the city at that time.
