Today we drove to Camping de Paris (where’s that?) – €50 / night

Leafy location

Right next to the Seine, in the Bois de Bologne.

Just stroll over the bridge to find some traditional French shops in Suresnes.

What‘s that?

A prime porker! Aka Woinic.

Nice place for the night next to the river Aisne. Where is it?

Luxembourg is incredibly hilly.

The escalators match the trams.

Look at those colours!

We shopped for Gerhild‘s coming birthday here.

A merry lot.

Today we drove through the rain to Camping Kockelscheuer in Luxemburg €26 per night. Where’s Camping Kockelscheuer? We were surprised to find it full. It was lucky that we had booked a few days in advance.

Fischbachtal‘s flying fire-brigade!

Where’s the Hottenbacher Hof?

After stashing the jam, we headed for Darmstadt for a walk through the forest along the Waldkunstpfad.

A boat

Houses for all sorts of bird.

How do you like Kim‘s new handbag?

Not made of gingerbread but definitely spooky

Looks interesting inside

There are lots of students here.

There are lots of timbered houses here.

And some fishy folk hanging around.

Lots of big churches too.
