Nenning to Vianden (Luxembourg)

We're getting used to this lovely, sunny weather. Perhaps we will get all the way home without getting wet again .....

We had an easy and pleasant morning ride along the Moselle.

Morning ride along the Moselle

We had to cross the Moselle by ferry to get to Wasserbillig in Luxembourg, where we would join the Piste Cyclable des Trois Rivières (Three Rivers? But there are only two of us!)
Wasserbillig is a strange and unattractive town. Having not passed a shop all morning we were keen to find a supermarket to buy some cheese and other ingredients for a picnic lunch. However, the shops in Wasserbillig sold vast amounts of cheap booze and coffee, but little else. We did find some very ordinary cheese and a baker for some bread, but no juice or fruit. There were no more shops for the rest of the day.

The path by the Sauer was excellent, though it climbed constantly.  The valley was very pretty too.

Eventually we crossed the river back into Germany, before following the Our Valley on a quiet, very undulating road upstream.
Then we crossed the Our once more, back to Luxembourg where we are camping at Vianden.
As we'd failed to find a shop to buy anything for our evening  meal,  we set out - stomachs rumbling  - for a restaurant a few hundred metres up the road. Tuesday was their day off.
Fortunately there was a filling station a bit further on which had a small shop. It stocked the usual cheap booze and coffee, but we did manage to buy some very nice bread, cheese and a tub of potato salad - as well as a couple of cheap beers.
We sat and enjoyed these finds in our peaceful spot by the river.

We've now cycled 2500km and think that we should get to the Hook of Holland by Sunday or Monday at the latest. We're both fairly tired and though still enjoying our experience, we're looking forward to getting home soon.
