Now arrived at a nice little site just SE of Luxembourg city, quite a few UK vans here too.  Weather not too bad today, managed to cook and eat dinner outside after putting on our thick sweaters!   Now back in the van with the heating on.

Short trip from Nancy to here so arrived in good time for lunch and spent the afternoon planning what to do.

Unusually for an ACSI site, they wanted to know how long we planned to stay and asked for payment up front.  Even worse......they don't take credit cards!  Luckily we had enough cash to pay for 4 nights.

However OH has made a 4 day plan, so we will need to raid the bank to pay for a 5th night here.  The forecast is not good so plans may well change. 

The last leg of the trip will be to a site on the coast in Belgium on Sunday, in preparation for our ferry on Monday morning, then we have another 9 days till we are due home.

Enjoy your last few days kj and safe journey home.

I will take sun over rain anyday of the week Malcolm, we had some very good weather while in Spain on the Costas 32c was about the hottest but we had a good sea breeze so it wasn't uncomfortable,  the nights were cooler and sleeping wasn't a problem. We don't object to a bit of sitting around enjoying the weather but we do like to get out for a cycle most days, I'm not a big walking fan prefer to cycle. It's typical that now we have satellite reception there's nothing but football on to watch in the eveningsFrown

What to do today?  I can see area's of blue skies and white clouds, some grey ones too but nothing like the heavy skies of the last few days. Forecast is for thunder storms, they didn't happen yesterday so hoping they won't today. Think we will try another cycle ride if possible.

Thanks Bakers2 for the good wishes, from what we see on the news uk have not been having it great either.

We will be looking for a site for a couple of nights between visiting our sons. Somewhere between Tidworth and Penistone, thinking of Rutland water, all suggestions wellSmile

We have never stayed at The Rutland Water site Tammy but it gets rather mixed reviews.  I would check them if I were you.  How about Stamford Top Lodge? I hope the weather picks up for your last few days but I have my doubtsUndecided Have a good time anyway and enjoy seeing your boys on the way home.  Safe journey.Smile

Write your comments here...The BBC weather forecast says remaining unsettled, Milliehull. So I think you'll find you'll get sunny spells interrupted by the occasional shower.  But look on the bright side, a spot of rain should keep your lawn greener and your flowers blooming!

Write your comments here...Only whilst the World Cup is on, Tammygirl. Once that is over, you may get a break from watching football!

Bit further south than Rutland, we've not done that site so can't comment but ferry meadows is lovely got great walks cycling on the doorstep, even into city itself should you need dose of retail therapy . Nice place to have coffee/snack overlooking one if the lakes.  Graffham water is OK too.

Won't be on for a couple of days enjoys yourselves folks.
