Trier

This view of the Kurfürstliches Palais isn't the classic image from Trier - that will doubtless be Blipped later in the week - but it was pleasant to encounter it a few hundred metres before reaching my hotel after 12 hours spent travelling not very far.

Although Trier is at the far end of the Mosel - almost in Luxembourg - I've been here before, on a school trip to Germany in 1978. Indeed, I changed trains in Koblenz, the base for that week's trip, but I saw little which I remember from all those years ago.
