April 21, 2023,Mosel, Tag 1: Metz - Thionville

Metz really is a beautiful city to take your time for. The north of Lorraine is heavily industrialized and the Moselle is an important transport route. Accordingly, you drive a lot through industrial landscapes. The route is flat and easy to ride, so it is not difficult to make good progress.

Day 2
Today we went all the way to Metz. That was a lazy day, with only 44 km. But that's OK for once 😊 It's getting warmer every day, and drinking plenty of fluids is very important 🥤
