Starting in Belgium, ending in Luxemburg. Idyllic campground, but getting into Luxemburg in the early morning, on a Monday. People with shopping carts full of alcohol and cigarettes. Stands selling aperol. And lines of cars. Tax differences, I guess. Vey calm and great bike way, but a lot of rain. Getting into Luxemburg city, weather cleared up and I got some great views of the city. The question what language to speak of the last few days will continue for a while.

Rain, rain, rain. Before that, a nice downhill part through vineyards. Arrived in Schengen and basically decided to take emergency shelter in a hotel in Manderen. Very short ride. Might be obviuthat the last few days haven’t been my favourites. As I’m already quite a bit in the future, I know that glorious days will come. Obviously it’s not specifically about the regions themselves, but rather a combination of timing and mood. Would be happy to visit each area again.
