We left at 6.20am but found that the sat nav wasn't talking. I told the Husband what to fiddle with, but it was too early so that didn't work. In the end it was easier to switch it off altogether to reboot. Thank goodness it worked!
It was very quiet on the autobahns which meant we made good progress. There were still the annoying roadworks, but generally if was fine. Of course, there were still lots of road racers and I was very conscious of keeping alert for them. We had a prime example as we first got on the autobahn. Just past the entry slip road there was the end of a big accident and we saw a VW golf rammed right under the rear of a lorry. I can't see anyone surviving that.
We stopped once in Germany then again in Luxembourg. We filled with fuel, but had a hard job finding somewhere to park. We found one alongside a kerb at the side of the building but then the Husband decided to trip over the kerb and go flying. He was okay though, just wounded pride, but he nearly give me a heart attack!
We decided to go on to the next services to eat, there are only two in Luxembourg! At the second one I stocked up on local wine and then we had our food in the car. It was 32 degrees and a dry heat so we were glad to get going again for the aircon.
The sat nav took us a very perculiar way to the hotel but we got there in the end.
I had booked a duplex suite as a surprise. We entered downstairs to a dining table and small, hidden kitchen then went upstairs to our room. It had a stand alone jacuzzi bath, a separate walk shower and a sauna! It also had a massive flat screen TV at the end of the bed but on the other side was ANOTHER TV for using whilst sitting in the chairs!
This was all well and good but he couldn't get the coffee machine to work! Of course it did when I remembered that I had to put the key card in the slot on the wall!
After we had settled in and relaxed after the really long drive, we went down for a nice dinner then went to bed.
