Cycling Benelux, Belgium: Virton to Arlon via Luxembourg
My latest Low Countries bicycle tour update: cycling in Belgium, Virton to Arlon via Luxembourg. 47 miles. I’m surprised it’s that many miles, to be honest. The amount of phaffing around taking photos today.
Last night was the first decent night’s sleep on this trip. There was no teenager’s summer camp. Nobody having a party. And no noisy neighbours talking until the early hours of the morning. Although I could hear a concert or something way off in the distance, which wasn’t loud enough to worry me.
Haha, now if you look at the map on my “Where’s Garry” webpage, it only looks as if I’ve come a few miles down the road, which I have really. But I did deviate into Luxembourg before stopping here in Arlon.
Luxembourg was good, although rather hilly. And I didn’t recognise anything from the last time I was here. Mind you, it was only a fleeting visit when I was on my way to Australia. And it was raining. And if memory serves me correctly, I cycled straight through without stopping, it was so wet. I only came to Luxembourg in the first place so I could add another country to my list that I visited on my way to Australia.
