A rebel without a clue.

The earliest and cheapest flight I can get to return to the UK is on Friday from Luxembourg. Never been to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg really, although Glenn and I went through the duchy on our way from Metz to Liege with a BlaBlaCar host. It's another 4 days from Trier to Metz which might be 3 for me if I walk distance and miss out one suggested halt? However the flight isn't until the evening so it'd be ideal to get a Flixbus direct from Metz to the airport and have Thursday night in Metz (hopefully in gites d'etape/auberge set aside for pelerins).

Looking in the window I could see a dining room and some people were milling about. I knocked on the window, but I was simply too far away, so I walked behind to where I assumed the kitchen was. One guy was coming out the door at that moment and I told him my predicament! He let me use their WC and gave me a cup of tea. Before I left another guy gave me a lot smoked dried 'rind' sausage(beef) and a holey cheese! Then just now arriving in Berglicht I found a Kneipe which was open. With just...
