Distance: 122km
Total: 3338km
Hot hot hot, slept well even next to the boulevard, but there was no way to place my tent so that morning sun wouldn't hit it, had assigned place. The two French camping sites I used were both municipal ones and thus very basic, but also cheap (6€ & 7€}.
In the morning made round in town to by some supplies, but too early and everything was still closed. So just bought baguette from kind of conditorie. Continued along the Moselle, only change in weather to yesterday was the headwind, not strong - but enough to cut speed a bit.
Entered Luxembourg and small village of Schengen, where some heads of states once sailed on a boat and put names on paper. Well didn't need passport to cross the border - actually even once on whole trip. Otherwise Luxemburg seemed odd mix of French and German, both languages seemed to be used, infra looked good as in German, but with some flavor of relaxed French attitude.
Bike routes are made really well on Luxembourg's side, and there's plenty of cyclists. Prices seem bit inflated, dunno do locals do shopping on German side as shops were hard to come by.
Later on the day Mosel continued to Germany, and I took the new border river Sauer to follow. The sides of this river are German MASS camping area, and other side is actually germany. A lot of campsites, and many lasting kilometers on the riversides with river just full of people at times.
Found a campsite near Diekirch, which isn't huge one and had super service oriented guy on reception, what a difference to some eastern European experiences. Campsite seems quiet apart from roaming kids, maybe they'll sleep soon. Also met and sat a while with dutch people from nearby camping vans. Dutch seem to be able to speak English always I meet them.
Tomorrow to Belgium!
