Germany: Mosel Valley, 21st to 25th September 1971

My first car trip to Germany. Taking Dad, Mum and younger brother Andy. We stayed at the then famous Gasthaus Zum Konig in Bullay, and enjoyed superb weather at the start of the week. And dreadful weather at the end! That is very much reflected in the quality of the photos, including the fact I was able to use colour for a few shots earlier in the week.
