Short on food, shorter on water, shorter still on sleep. Luxembourg is a very fascinating landscape; if I had to use a single word to describe the Grand-Duchy I'd say 'polished.' The nature feels almost untouched; pristine pines forest the rolling, deep valleys occupied by shallow, gentle streams. Even the settlements, submerged in green and dispersed in space. Luxembourg, in spite of its ease in the eye, though, wasn't particularly aiding my situation, bringing me steep ascents and unrelenting heat, which brought my pace almost to a standstill. I dug deep though, and frankly, I'm absolutely exhausted. I can feel myself falling asleep even as I write this! But to fill you in, I was very keen to reach the Mullerthal area while in little Lux (a well known tourist region for its canyons and intrigue), but with how I've arranged ahead, I realised it just isn't possible to make it there, not in the condition I was in, nor the time conditions I am under. Instead, I've pivoted my trajectory towards Luxembourg City, and have chosen to stay in a campsite for two nights to allow me to shoot my way to the capital without hauling the huge pack tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll find some time to get my Mullerthal Miller time via a bus after all if I make good pace. But then again, maybe not. The only thing for definite right now is... sleep.Read more
