Trier; Monday, 01 August, 2011

By the time I arrived in Trier the temperatures, which had been climbing through the morning, showed no intention of stopping, and as I stepped off of the train I was hit by a wall of heat.

I walked the short distance to the hotel and checked in and then headed out into the city, just as most museums were closing for the evening.

Thankfully, the RömerExpress land train tour was still running, so I was able to take that and get an overview of the city.

After the tour I had a long wander around the old town, eventually ending up outside the basilica where I discovered a very nice restaurant so I had a spot of dinner there, before going for a bit more of a walk, taking in some of the city sights in the fading light, then headed back to the hotel for a good night’s sleep.
