Time to bid farewell to the beautiful city of Luxembourg and catch our train to Saarburg, where our boat-bike tour begins. Waited at the train station for Steve and Karen to show up, as they are joining us on the tour. They were in Milan and were to have arrived yesterday, but had their flight cancelled so didn’t get here till today. They arrived in time to catch the same train as us. An uneventful train ride to Trier where we switched trains and had a short ride to Saarburg. From the train station we were able to walk over to where the boat was moored. Once we dropped our bags at the boat, we headed off in search of a place to have a drink. Found a nice little spot and I tried their version of a radler, which is simply beer with Sprite. Walked back to the boat and got settled into our cabins. They are actually quite roomy and have a lot of storage space. A good home away from home for the week! Then up on the top deck for more libations before the captain’s welcome aboard reception followed by dinner and our first tour briefing for tomorrow’s cycling.
