Instead of heading north in Germany we decided to go across to France as Ulli and Rita had said there was a lovely mountain route - this turned out to be another scary road for Mogs!! This means we don't have any pics of the route but it was quite stunning.
After the hot weather in Freiburg we had a bit of a change and stormy weather came. We always seem to have rain in France!
We found a campsite but it was really busy and after one night there we made a last minute decision to leave - had 10 minutes to pack up and make a quick escape - we're getting pretty good at packing things up quickly! Time to head nearer to Luxembourg and made a stop at a place called Nancy further up in France.
We stayed at a site there for a few days - free wifi! Biked into the city one day - it was further than we thought but worth the visit - the centre was full of golden buildings in the square.
Nancy - the golden city
Vannie / Vany
Vannie has done us proud on our trip so far - when we were in the UK for her MOT we got a lovely new duvet cover thanks to Les and Kirk - we have also put up our prezzys from Annie and G and Sam and Kez at the back of the van - Dave needs a bosom for a pillow!!
With Mogs solar lights put out by the doors - as soon as we park up anywhere we are 'home'!
Time to move on to Luxembourg - On the way we went through a village called Vany - had to get a pic! Perhaps we should have stopped here - Vannie wanted to stop but we had to move on!
We couldn't find anywhere else in France we fancied staying so carried on driving till we reached Luxembourg - first stop was at a yacht club just over the border where campervans could stop in the car park - very pretty place in the wine growing area of Luxembourg on the Moselle River.
Schengen - in the Moselle Valley
In Luxemboug and it's boiling again - spent the first 2 days chilling in the sun and topping up tans.
Mr Wampach - the Legend!
Our friend Steve Wampach - the man who knows how to party hard in Luxembourg - he rang us up and said 'we party hard all days and nights - sex, drugs and rock n roll!'
Steve has been on our blog previously - we met him last year in Spain at Mog's friend Sally's birthday bash.
BBQ and Party Time with Mr W and friends and "Non Bon" the dog - No Balls in Luxemburgish
Very cool place!
Luxembourg City
We had our own tour guide - by bike - Mr W showed us the sights of Luxembourg city. We were planning a slow cycle to the city to have a look around on our rusty old bikes. Along comes Mr Wampach fully kitted out in his professional gear on a super fast bike!! HELP! He is well fit - our short legs had trouble keeping up - he did slow down for us though and showed us round the city - beautiful city.
Wampach - the tour guide
View from the top - bit like a little 'toy town'
The Palace
The Casements - underground tunnels built in the rocks - miles long and a long way down!
Castles and Villages
Luxembourg may be small but it's full of lovely villages and castles - we found a few and searched for ages for a waterfall that looked stunning in the books - couldn't find it! Probably due to Mog's navigation skills yet again.....
Vianden
The prettiest village in Luxembourg
After partying and driving through some lovely parts of Luxembourg it's time to move on to Belgium and North France - the final part of our tour.
Vannie looks great! Oh and Vany does too! Omg Mr W's parties sound verrrrry interesting he he! Liking the photos, Luxembourg looks really pretty too. I'm not sure u two are getting enough exercise mm?? Wots happened to all the bike and running photos, Mr W tired u out! I don't do tunnels I'm afraid! And now I can't get that bloody song out if my head now, "everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" !!!!! Have fun party animals!! Xxx
