Luxembourg: a tiny country with charm

8.7. - 10.7.

Luxembourg: Unexpectedly a really great country for cycling!

The bike paths always lead through forests, small villages, or fields. Almost never does a car pass by, so we can cycle side by side and chat in peace.

The capital Luxembourg also looks really beautiful. The old castle walls and towers impressed Mexi a lot!

But Luxembourg is indeed a very small country. We passed through it in just two days ;-)

Now we are already in Germany - on the border area with France. We have been cycling along the border all day, and the next few days we will also spend in France before we cycle through Bavaria for 10 days.

The landscape has become hilly again since Belgium, and we love it!

We are making really good progress now.

In New Zealand, our average was about 40-60 KM per day, with a rest day every 4th day;

Now, however, we are always cycling between 80-100 KM! And we haven't had a break for about 10 days.

We have actually planned out our remaining days. We still have about 1200 KM to go, and we only have 18 days left. So there are 2 options: either shorten the route, but then we would only cycle through flatland for days, or just pedal harder and stick to the original route (Luxembourg - Strasbourg - Lake Constance - Bavaria - Salzburg - Bad Ischl - Gmunden).

We are Austrians and therefore NATURALLY chose option 2 ;-) hihi!

But from now on, we probably won't have any more rest days, because the route is diverse and goes into the mountains! :-)
