Day 5 part 2 Breaking the Language Barrier

We left Germany through the Mosel valley, passing the city of Trier and entering Luxembourg. The country is the size of a county, and we actually crossed the border between Germany and Luxembourg several times in one evening, going to the northern part of the country (about 20 miles north of the southern part). We came to a halt at a campground were the primary language seemed to be Dutch, but they handled English very well, too. We grabbed the bikes and went to the town centre to find some grub. At the gas station, they spoke German and a little English, but we managed to follow their instructions and found a chinese restaurant called Lune D'Or (moon of gold).

The restaurant owner was a very nice lady who spoke German and French, but no English at all! We went through the menu, Christianity (!), and other things (sometimes I don't think anyone knew what we were actually talking about) in all the languages we possessed (French, German, Norwegian, and English) and in the end we became very happy to meet her... We got apetizers and an aperetif on the house, two gifts, and many good laughs. The food was excellent - we had chicken and duck, coconut icecream (in a coconut), fried apple on fire, and great Riesling wine from the area.

I believe the name of the city was Esch. Go there and meet the nice little lady!
