19.06.23 – Trip to Verdun

As our sleep wasn’t particularly good last night, we stayed in bed for a little longer the next morning. After finally getting up, we decided to get tickets to go for a little swim in the nearby lake which also had shower rooms. The humid weather made it impossible to not sweat so every possibility to shower was welcome. After showering we left our parking spot and started our trip to Verdun which was only around 1½ to 2 hours. When arrived in Verdun we had a quick look at Park4Night to find a place for the night. But before we drove there, we bought some groceries for the next days. After leaving the Aldi, we drove to a little meadow next to a little river where other campers and mobile homes already found their spot. We parked a little further up the road and, a little later, decided to walk into the city to find a place to eat. We arrived about 25 minutes later and found most of the restaurants closed. It seemed like monday was closing day for most of the restaurants, so we ended up at a kebab place – which also meant fries and salat for Lazaro as this was the only vegan „option“ on the menu. As only 2% of the population is vegan, most places probably save themselves the „trouble“ of offering vegan options.While we were eating it started to rain. And it did not stop. I looked at my weather app and found out that it would not stop anytime soon and would get even stronger so we decided to walk back to the camper as fast as possible. Accompanied by lighting and thunder we got back pretty much soaked but right in time before the rain got even stronger.The rest of the evening consisted of listening to music, playing cards and drinking some wine and whiskey which was fun. Especially towards the end.We went to bed at around 3 in the morning.
