By train to Luxembourg and by bike home. A 3 country tour at over 30° and lots of sun ☀️ and even more headwind💨 - finally summer🥳Great tour with plenty of opportunities to stop and there was even a farmer's ice cream - raspberry sorbet. So delicious😋

I left Saarbrücken early in the morning in light rain. The rain stopped and today I cycled to Luxembourg in ideal temperatures. Beautiful cycling route, with a few exceptions away from traffic. Tomorrow I'll take a break and look at the city of Luxembourg, without my bike.
