Day 3 Luxembourg. The day started with a tremendous
thunderstorm and the rain lashed it down, but half an hour later the sun was
out and we set off for the 75 mile drive to our next stop in Luxembourg. That
is, we set out to empty the waste water and found that the incredibly bad
Belgian roads had worked the waste pipe connection loose, so it was a matter of
putting the rear nearside of the bus on the ramps and clambering underneath to
reattach and secure the pipe. Bloody Belgian roads! We completed the rest of the journey uneventfully through some lovely scenery and, getting low on fuel, we were pleased to see the first garage in
Luxembourg. There were long queues and we soon
found out why; 95p per litre! We filled up to the brim - what a
bargain. We soon found the delightful
campsite camping Bon Accueil and paid an incredibly good value 14 euros for a
pitch the size of our back garden, electricity, lovely loos and showers and all in a
very pretty location. The UK is such a rip-off. We had a lazy lunch and
then unhitched the bikes and rode the 6 miles into Luxembourg City down a
delightful and stunningly beautiful cycle track which followed the river into
the city. Once there, we parked up and had a wander around this very interesting place, including a festival in the main square,
but it was roasting hot and we felt claggy, so instead of staying for dinner
we cycled back, showered and had a nice steak outside the bus on our very own
country estate. We would like to go back to Luxembourg as there is a lot on offer here.
