Day 1 we left the RV point Monday at 05.20 Hr. Following nationales and departementales we reached France around 07.00 Hr. Crossed the border near Limes (D110). No passport check.
Only a small and deserted ‘Office de Douane’.

First direction is VERDUN. Drove around VERDUN city through the forest region and had a brief stop at the Ossuaire de Douaumont.

Next was Neufchateau and then direction St.-Die.
We stayed in Ban de Laveline. Our B&B for trips Vosges / Alsace.
Always a nice stay ‘Chez Remi’. Great guy, loves cars and motorsport.
http://lespresdumoulin.net/indexC.htmLeft our luggage at Remi’s and as usual we went for dinner at ‘Les 2 Freres’ at Saulcy-sur-Meurthe.
At the end of the day we drove more than 700 Km (only 75 Km highway).
Day 2 we drove whole day in the region, +/- 400 Km.



The weather was very good. There were some roadworks and one side of the Schlucht was closed, so we improvised a little bit.


Only 3 days of holiday, so we drove home on the third day.
The XR did well and the comfort and handling improved since I mounted HeliBars handle bars and a Sargent seat.
