Although the rain sort of stopped overnight it was still wet
when we made an earlier than usual start so the screens had to be packed wet.
Today we are aiming for Luxembourg so after finding that the water at the
service point had been turned off yesterday (yup, that’s our luck!) we set out.
Staying off the motorways it’s not a particularly direct
route but Autoroute made a decent job of it – pity some of the roads didn’t
match the database and others were closed. Before long we were back in Germany,
checking out a couple of stellplatze to try and top up the water, which we had
actually run out of. We found ourselves driving pretty well through the centre
of Saarbrucken and as the Rough Guide said, it didn’t inspire us at all. In
fact it is quite industrial and commercial, straggling out along the Saar
river.

| Saabrucken - about the best it could offer! |

| Yes - more roundabout art. But Paris? |
Once clear, despite no water facilities, we stopped at one
of the stellplatze for lunch, deciding that we’ll use an ACSI campsite for a
couple of nights and visit Luxembourg city. After lunch, again to avoid the
motorway, and crossing into Luxembourg the route was tortuous, complicated
again by a road closure resulting in a long diversion. The satnav helped and
soon we were turning into the campsite we used a couple of years ago – actually
must have been longer as they couldn't find our details on their computer.
It’s been dry, if cloudy all day, and we've taken the
opportunity to get all the wet stuff out and try to dry it out. Also to catch
up on emails etc. as we've got free Wi-Fi here too.
