This is not the view from our window

[shewhomust]

This is a view from the oddly-shaped little utiliy room across the corridor from our room. It is of the Porta Nigra, the Black Gate of Trier, which is Roman. Our hotel, as you see, is very well situated, and very friendly, and our room is in the attic. It is charming. But it is not very big, and in particular, there is nowhere to sit and type. I am reduced to tablet mode, which I find very hard work. So there will be less posting for the next few days - but just as much going out and having fun!

ETA: My little notebook has just reminded me that our room is n°42.

That's a great shot! It looks somehow space-age.

There's a sort of copper roofing that may go some way to explain that...
