"May I suggest prawns for desert?"

view from the casements

We had just finished a superb meal at Le Jardin Gourmand in Luxembourg when the waiter enthusiastically recommended the Pain Perdue with prawns. Our faces must have registered extreme shock as the very posh waiter went on to describe the round berries contained within the aforementioned sweet. Eventually it turned out he meant prunes so we happily agreed to his recommendation. What turned up was covered in mirabelles, those little orange round things with leaves that no one ever knows the name of. Not exactly prunes but delicious all the same. If you are in Luxembourg we heartily recommend a meal here if you get the chance.

Today was spent lying in as it was pouring with rain until late. Mr Fluffy had left one of our hatches open as it was a little warm, despite the massive rainfall, so my shoes were full of water. The camp site is a little out of town so I got the bus while Mr F walked the hour into the centre. It's a public holiday today, Friday, so most of the shops were closed - annoyingly.

Black Madonna of Luxembourg City

Luxembourg has a series of ancient tunnels called Casements which we walked through on our way to the old town and the St John's church which houses a beautiful 14th century Black Madonna. She is rather fabulous! After a disappointing panini at Scott's Pub by the river we continued our walk around the city and are now back in Dickie awaiting the next downpour.

disappointing panini but nice view

France tomorrow.
