The road less traveled part 5

Day 4, Lewein, Germany to Remich, Luxembourg. Our first day of cooler temps and a little rain but not too bad all in all. Of interest this day was what we had for lunch: Doner Kebap; I can only describe it as the tastiest lunch I ever had. It's made of spit roasted mutton (?) shaved off and served in a pita with tahini sauce and veggies. I am sure that it's extra healthy...... Anyway, lest you forget, cycle touring is about riding to eat and drink, and eat and drink we did. With abandon. Daily.

Early in the day we came across this lock and dam with a cruise boat about to go through. Pretty cool process.

This was the second of six ferry crossings we had to make as part of the trip. It would generally only cost around $1.50 for person and bike to cross.

A cool shot of my dad and bro cruising along a river pathway.

Welcome to Luxembourg. It was like entering another country. Um, oh yeah, it was another country.... Strangely, the language, customs and architecture were all French rather than German. I suppose it shares a much longer border with France but the region has been fought over, conquered, divided, rejoined, etc. etc. for millenia so who knows. I can say this: after having toured in France, and now Luxembourg, the food and acconodations are way better in Germany.

OK, so the food wasn't that bad. If you know and appreciate a good salad nicoise, you know what the above picture is all about. And yes, it goes with beer. Perfectly well.
