Hotel Brimer Grundhof

... in variety of flavours which are dipped into hot milk until they melt.

Then we head off to try Luxembourg wine at Ross suggestion. If you have never tried it - definately give it a go. Amazing couple hours drinking fine white wine.

... wrist. This apparently put a dent in her trip and the hospital in Paris wasn't going to be able to put on a lighter cast for her until Friday so we went ahead and had her come out today and replaced the cast with an ace bandage ourselves. She was a little frightened, but I'm sure her wrist will be okay. The trip here was very pretty and I wish I could have taken pictures but the train was moving too quick to really catch anything. It was my first trip on a ...

... Moore lives in the Valais canton, as does Frida Lyngstad, the singer from Abba (she’s the dark haired one). Tina Turner lives on the Zurich gold coast. When I write my block-busting pastoral travel memoires, I will consider moving to Switzerland too to avoid paying taxes on all the royalties….

Back to reality. I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. There were no French agents at the immigration desk so I just walked down a hall into the French sector ...

... 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.

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.

... a chocolate truffle shop where i bought a regular truffle for my first one i figure there are plenty more truffle shops in my future. i love the expensive delicateness of them and i plan to stop at everyone i see. (dont tell Carrie) There were nice ice sculptures I am finally awake enough to start getting excited about where we are going next. We have booked a hostel in Kensington London and I am excited to see as many musicals as ...

... underneath a big bridge. We filled our days with walking around, up and down various large hills to get into and out of town. We strolled along the "Corniche" and admired the great views into the Valley. We went to Grund and looked around. The weather was quite decent so we spent all day, both days outside. There was quite a bit to see in Luxembourg City, but that's not the real reason. The real reason we were outside so ...

... rebuilt during the middle ages, it is easy to understand how it came to be the strongest fortress in Europe, though little of the old defences remain. Instead, many fine bridges span the valleys and lead into the spired and turreted, mainly pedestrianised centre. Pleasant enough to wander around for a while, though it didn't quite live up to the views promised from far side. One thing did please me immensely - some real ...

... 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.
