Cravat 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.

On Thursday I got up and walked the city of Speicher and looked at the whole town, it really isn't that big at all. It is a small city and most people either work on the Air Force Base or they drive to Bitburg or Trier to work. Anyways it was nice to see the small city and where my parents lived for a few years. After I was finished walking Richard and I went onto the base to look around ...

... most was visiting the National Museum of History and Art. Not so much for what was on display but mostly because of the way it was displayed and the building itself. The museum had a ground floor and went up five floors. But it also went down five floors. Each floor down was a period of time back in the city. What made it amazing was they way they displayed this. Imagine a large square hole, say 75 yards wide and 75 yards deep. Now imagine a see through building placed into ...

... and experience a bit of history ... albeit with A LOT of climbing up and down stairs. In the afternoon, we rented some bikes from one of the numerous Veloh! stands around the city. We cycled out of the city on one of the bike paths they have, and got to see the forest nearby the city. Along the way we saw numerous coloured trees (thanks to Autumn), and various old waterworks.

... most of it was uphill but luckily, it wasn't too hot out. It's quite the sight as you approach up a bridge, because the old town is walled, and sits atop a cliff, with a lush, verdant valley below. An Aussie dude I met in the Copenhagen hostel told me that people describe it as being something out of a fairytale - a fairly accurate description, in my opinion. The hostel was shiny and new, but has a bit of an ...

... porto, prae, veini ja magustoiduga u 50&#8364;/2 in. Sattusime ainult ühe korra sellisesse söögikohta, mis oli mõistliku hinna (22&#8364;/2 in) ja kvaliteedi suhtega, nii söök kui miljöö olid väga meeldivad ja mitteturistlikud: peremees grillis laua kõrval kala ja kui kliendi taldrik juhtus tühi olema, siis pani ta sinna kohe uue sardiini :) Sellised kohad on ilmselt kusagil kõrvaltänaval ja ei tundu kaugelt kutsuvad, aga lõpuks võivad kujuneda väga eriliseks elamuseks. Kes otsib ...

... 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!)
