Schengen

It is good to be able to travel  freely in Europe. We left France and the next village on our left side was Schengen in Luxembourg, on the right side was Germany. No one cared, we just had to change flags.


Fete de mirabelle

After more than 100 locks we reached the beautiful city of Metz. We stayed in the nice port de plaicence in the middle of the old town.
It was a festival of mirabelle. Mirabelle is like a small plum.
We took part in the juru of the best desert with mirabelle. We got four very good ones and as I was offered an extra one from the lady next to me I was absolutely full. They were very good-
In the evening we went to an outdoor consert with nice music.  After the first part there was going to be a flamenco performace and they rerigged the stage. Just when it all should beginn it started to rain and it was pouring down. Unfortunately it had to be cancelled.
