Left Koerich mid morning, headed for 2 nights in Bastogne. We crossed the border between Luxembourg & Belgium & found ourselves driving through the “Fuel Eldorado”- Martelange, which has 11 fuel stations in less than a 2km stretch! All of them on the Luxembourg side of the village, as duty is less in Luxembourg, therefore fuel is around 15 cents a litre cheaper. No photo proof, but it was a sight. Bastogne is famous for the “Battle of the Bulge” & there are many museums dedicated to it. One of us (guess who) visited two of the museums, Bastogne War & the Airborne! We both went to the War Rooms! The town is also a nice place, with plenty of independent shops and a fine selection of charcuterie’s, patisserie’s & bars’s/restaurant’s. No time to hang around, we set off for Waterloo! Unfortunately we arrived too late to visit the museum. We asked if we could stay in the carpark overnight, to get in the museum first thing so not to disrupt our onward plan. OK to stay but only one night & the police may knock to check we aren’t up to no good. Just before 10am G set off like a greyhound to the museum, to be first in! Not only first in but the first up the 226 steps to the Butte De Lion.
