Stats... 112km, 7hrs 29min, average speed 15.15kmh and top speed of 48kmh cycle to Mersch, Luxembourg. OH MY GOD...HILLS, HILLS, HILLS and some more HILLS and did I mention HILLS?! We were just praying that they were very tall trees in the distance, but no, they were hills. However, the scenery was spectacular. We glided through tall pine trees and sweated up 3km climbs. I think we are lost and are acually mid Alps?! We crossed the border from belgium to luxembourg mid afternoon. The weather started as drissle and eventually brightened up. We were heading for a campsite marked on the map and after reaching the small village, we found that it had closed 10years previous! After Kris usual well practiced plea of trying to score a free bed in some random persons house failed, we got back on the saddle and cycled another 10 clicks of hilly surroundings and the campsite was a sight for sore eyes! Tomorrow we are in Luxembourg city and will be losing our hospitallity club virginity to a lady named Gina.

Hi Kris & Ali
Sounds as if you both are enjoying it. Following your moves on the atlas. I like the substitute washer - knew the beer tops would come in handy. How is Ali coping with it? - She certainly has her work cut out - what with all the hills, hills & more hills, the heat and having to put up with you....... for all this time....... No .. only joking - I have set up the table and promoting the Cancer Research 100%. Looking forward to seeing more pics. Love always Mum & Dad xx
