Latest Cochem hotel reviews
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?
The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under the same circumstances is true; For example, from the crib, male babies tend to be more aggressive and females more passive. As adults, in spatial operations, men have the edge in such skills as negotiating a maze, reading a map, and quickly discriminating between right and left. Men also perform better than women when asked to visualize an object and imagine rotating it. On the other hand, women tend to perform better than men when asked to look at objects of different shapes, sizes, and colors, and then to group them in some order.
This still doesn't explian why my female co-driver turns the map all around when I'm asking for the road to travel, while I like the map at one point so I can better visualize our position. Help!

If you want to visit the castle, you can take a bus from the parking lot at the station. There is very very little parking space near the castle itself. Only for 20 cars or so. That means that you best walk. Or rather: climb. There's a good footpath up to the castle, but it can be a very demanding 15 minutes if you have an average condition.

This tip could probably also file under "Tourist Traps". I would like to advise you to be careful about buying wines in Cochem's touristy streets. I didn't taste any of them, but their being sold along plastic souvenirs suggests that you'll have to look very well in order to find real quality. Stay away from colourful bottles -- serious wineries do not need such dressing up in order to sell their wines. It might be a good idea to ask at your hotel/pension about good buys. They are out there, but definitely not on offer in the tourist shops.
When tasting wine, good Moselle wine should taste "racy", i.e. fresh, with a very pronounced mineral note.
