Friday 5th September 2025 – Rumelange, Luxembourg

 

We got to the Channel Tunnel early with the intention of trying to get an earlier shuttle but there was a very long queue to register and we received a warning that there may be a delay in our departure. Initially it showed a 30 minute delay, then 20 minutes early but eventually we were delayed by over an hour.
We shared our carriage with three very smart Porsche sports cars that were on their way to a Porsche endurance race in Belgium. They were about 20 Porsches in the group – they weren’t competing but wanted to watch the race and they also hoped to get some time on the racetrack. They were in the single-level carriages because their very limited ground clearance meant that they couldn’t use the upper deck of the car carriages.
We were heading to an aire in Luxembourg but the journey was tortuous, with many roadworks and long delays. We made a note not to use the same route when we return.
At 19:30 we arrived at Rumelange and the aire near the mining museum. We have used the aire before and knew that it was a good, quiet aire. Another couple of motorhomes joined us and we settled down for the night.
