We were both very tired after yesterday's early start
and slept like logs after an early night.
Prior to sleep, I had a walk up to the boat lift and
it was interesting to see these huge cargo barges (as in my picture yesterday) being lifted up to the higher
level.
There were tourist boats doing their thing with lots
of whooping from happy tourists following a tour of the building and the machinery.
In the morning I was chatting with the only other Brits
on the Aire, a couple from Norfolk
They were telling how nice Luxembourg city
Our planned route took us through the country of Luxembourg
Plenty of others had the same idea and there was
quite a queue at the pumps.
It cost 1.13 euro per litre which is £1. The current
price in UK
We arrived at our destination for today, a small town
called Hornbach, just east of Saarbruken.
The Aire is very pleasant situated on the outskirts
of town which I intend to explore after we had some tea.
It's very warm here today, my phone telling me 32' so
I'm hoping it'll be cooler later for the walk. Otherwise I might have to buy a
large ice-cream ! or even a beer.
We have full services here tonight, electric hook up,
water and a place to dump waste water, all for a bargain 7 euro.
The walk around the town revealed it to be a sleepy
place with not much going on but it was quite pleasant. But no ice-cream or
beer was purchased mainly because I forgot my money.
We have TV signal again tonight
Tomorrow we head off across the Black Forest region of Germany

Great to start getting your trip updates again. We stopped at the aire in Luxembourg City for a night and can highly recommend a look around the city. Best wishes Martin and Dawn Coutts
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin and Dawn, I think I`ll try and plot a route to call in the Aire at Luxembourg if possible, thanks for your recommendation :0) Chris
