We say goodbye to Germany and hello to the mini-state of Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its area of 2586 square kilometers and population of around 500,000, it must be possible to come across the cyclists Andy and Fr\u00e4nk Schleck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we keep a lookout in the hilly landscape, they are not in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enter Luxembourg City itself, where part of the EU's institutions are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a beautiful city, with an international touch in terms of its institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drive out into the countryside again and find a campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is wifi at the main house, so we can just check the world situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After dinner, we will just have a look around the area. Behind the campsite is a field where some very curious cows roam. They keep following us \u2013 so in the end we have to stand and pat them a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n

Unfortunately we can't stay that long in Luxembourg as we also have to go to Le Mans. It's otherwise wonderful here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We continue towards France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture is really big in France. We try to rush forward to the length of one field. About 2 km with the same crop. It must be Europe's pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n

It is incredibly pleasant to drive through the small villages in France. However, you just have to remember that they have a duty to give way to the right, and actually drive according to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have probably ended up in a few situations where we have been cursed as tourists. In a small village, we stop at the streetcar to check the front wheel bearing. There have been a few problems with it, so Johnny wants to check that everything is ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we are messing with the car we can hear someone laughing. Completely uninhibited - honestly... how rude are you allowed to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just have to check the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laughter continues and we start looking around to see where people are standing and laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can't see anyone - strange. The laughter continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, we discover that it is some giant toads in the street, which sound vaguely like a person laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start laughing. We're not that much of a joke anyway. - Phew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a pure clich\u00e9, French people wander around in the morning with a few baguettes under their arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well - well, custom escort or land plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny proudly returns with French baguettes and cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have now reached Le Mans and drive past the famous race track. It's already full of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the city itself, there are also many people and not really any parking space, so we drive a little out of the city again and stop at the train station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all the people in town, it's not really a place to take Bertil. He is small, can quickly be overlooked in a crowd and stepped on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny sacrifices himself and stays back in the car with Bertil, while Sus goes into the driver's parade and looks for Helsing\u00f8r Girl Guard - where Anne and Sofie are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is a little way to go, but Sus arrives in time. There comes the girls' guard marching. Tom Kristensen had even marched with them a bit of the way, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n

It's now nice to greet the crazy kids and even if they don't want to admit it, it's probably mutual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After greeting Anne and Sofie, we just have to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reach Paris at night in pouring rain. The road striping is hard to see and there is also road work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a little under pressure, but escape alive through Paris, a richer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, it goes quietly back to Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
