Christophe Colomb Luxembourg City

... heard some Luxemburgish music and I liked it. Conrad worked on the computer to map our route for tomorrow while Karyn and I chatted. Spoogy sat in her lap for a bit and then made his way to mine. He is a very sweet dog! We all went to bed at 11 pm. I stayed up for an hour more to upload pictures while making a tent with my blanket. I hid under it because it was warmer that way! I drifted off to sleep at midnight.<br>

Of course I needed to visit Luxembourg, hiding away there between France, Germany and Belgium. It is the fifith smallest country in the world. It is very hilly and surrounded by trees. The hostel is down at the bottom of a cliff, yay! The city of course is quite small, but it is surrounded by ruins and forest which makes it quite a unique city in amongst the hustle and crowds of all the other major cities. The people there speak French and their own language, Luxembourgish I suppose.

... Roman ruins and the churches up close. Trier was very nice and I love the feeling there, the Roman baths were also really cool to see. We also had a great dinner in the main square of town. I had Pepper Steak and spetzlah. It was so good. The seats outside were great and I was able to people watch and really just embrace in the culture. Plus a little wine probe, wine tasting, helped a lot.

At last I finally arrive in Trier and meet up with Maureen and Richard. They are old friends of my parents and have agreed to put me up for the next few nights. They recognized me at once saying I look like my parents, of course I smiled and said you don't have to be mean. HAHA. Well after we got in the car we went to the top hill of Trier were we could see all ...

After arriving super early back in Freiburg from London, it was time to catch the bus with IES to head to Luxembourg. We spend a few hours here as our halfway point to Brussels. Luxembourg was beautiful. It has so much natural beauty and the tallest and most interesting bridges I have ever seen. We ...

... a few hours later, our 50-strong group of luggage totting, bright-eyed Americans trudged our way across the city center to our Hotel Mozart, inciting many appropriate curses and amusement from passerby along the way. We hurriedly found our rooms, rested for a bit and made our way to one of the delicious Greek restaurant fronts along our street. Content with our pile-o-gyro-and-frite meal, a few of us found our ...

... kruiisima minna! Meie navigatsiooniabi, Jüri (TomTom), juhtis meid alati kõige keerulisemaid teidpidi kõige kitsamatele tänavatele. Ma ei leidnud seal küll sellist funktsiooni, kus oleks saanud sightseeing'u maha võtta. Igatahes vahel oli selline tunne, et me oleme täielikus tupikus, kusagil mäe otsas ja ei mahu järgmise nurga tagant välja pöörama. Aga näe, Jüril oli kõik täpselt välja arvutatud ja ilma temata oleks meil kulunud palju rohkem aega kaardi lugemisele :)<br><br>Loodusilu ...

... small country, all the cartoons on TV and in the newspaper seemed to not have words, just gestures and sound. The weather was kind of grey, the food was good. We discovered Croque Monsieurs (like grilled cheese sandwiches with ham -delish!)

... Casemates - tunnels and chambers dug to further fortify Luxembourg city. Saw Notre Dame church and walked along the park at the bottom of the valley where we found an old church built into the side of the hill. Luxembourg is a beautiful medieval valley.
