Our tour of Europe 2019 – first leg Belgium to Luxembourg

We sailed from Hull to Zeebrugge on The Pride of York, we’d left it pretty late to book so only club cabins available. Cost a small fortune but very impressive. Cabin with bunk beds & a double, plenty of room to swing a couple of kids, never mind the cats & two massive windows to see the sea.

All good fun leaving the boat, very exciting!

We didn’t hang around, night one was in Luxembourg so straight onto the motorway and away we go.

Belgium from the motorway isn’t much to write home about.

Luxembourg is beautiful. It seems very refined compared to other places we’ve travelled through. We stayed at camping auf kengert, pretty much in the centre of the country. We were surrounded by woodland and pretty little villages.

The campsite was ace, next to a barefoot walk, where you get close to nature and connect with the earth, fascinating how different it feels wandering through a forest without your shoes on.

Facilities for the boys were brilliant. A massive play park, lovely pool, a maze and a huge playing field.

All good stuff with the general facilities on the site, we’d gone for a comfort pitch so loads of room, electric and water and a very quiet, sheltered spot.

Definitely feeling the benefits of winding down after a busy few weeks, we all slept until late, unheard of in the kilby household/vanhold? It meant for a bit of rushing about to get packed up and on our way before the 12.00 deadline. Note to selves, book 2 nights for the first stop to give yourselves a chance to relax.

Heading off towards Germany now, plenty to see en route but Simon’s got the driving bug so no chance of stopping 🙄
