Pentecost gives us a day off on Monday (Whit Monday) so a long weekend to Luxemburg was due. Wife and son take the car, I take the bike.
Got a garmin map that is prgrammed to avoid motorways and look for roads near water, forests and featuring plenty curves.
Below a few pictures of the ride.

Nice report and great pics, as always Dutchy. The scenery is quite nice. Any idea what castle it was?

The castle is La Roche en Ardenne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Roche-en-Ardenne
As for the tag.............. I noticed that!
Surprising that no one has complained that it is inapropriate..... :goofy:
That doesn't look like Chez Willie! Is it a new frietje?
Chez Willie is to the north of Luxemburg, the german speaking area of Belgium. This one to the east, french spoken (although none of the french I took :-) )
Great Write up, pictures, and trip.
