On Thursday 14th June we continued west up the Mosel valley and soon crossed into Luxembourg.
We stopped for a while in the Luxembourg town of Ecternach which has some interesting old buildings.
Luxembourg is not a big country and we quite quickly got through it and into Belgium where we stopped for the night at the village of Herbenmont where we explored this ruined castle.
On Friday 15th June the weather was really nasty - high winds and more or less continuous heavy rain so we went quickly on motorways through the rest of Belgium and into France where we parked for the night at Dunkerque Car Ferry terminal. It cleared up a bit then and we had this sunset to look at as well as the Sweden v England match on TV.
Today Saturday 16th June we got a ferry from Dunkirk to Dover. While waiting to get on we chatted to these vanners from near London who had been down to Annecy for a week or so.
We soon got to Dover and went over to Ann's daughter Kerry's place in Kent. It's Kerry's birthday today so she, her partner Gareth and their son Henry were out for lunch when we arrived but Kerry had kindly left a craftily concealed key to the house for us so we quickly helped ourselves to their hospitality.
Gareth has quite a few animals. As well as the chickens and pigs we already knew about her seems to have acquired these four sheep.
Gareth also has a dog named Wilf who is always wanting to play ball. They also have a cat whose name I forget.
