Hotel Zurich Luxembourg City

... We then made our way to our host's house. It was easily found. Upon ringing the doorbell, you instantly heard the 3 dogs barking. We came inside and were greeted by them all. Two dogs were hers and one belongs to the neighbor. They were Phoebe, Spoogy, and Nina. Our host was Karyn (I think I'm spelling it right).<br><br>We got our things settled in and then left with them to take the dogs on a long walk. There is ...

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.

... my parents worked for those years. It was pretty awesome to see where my dad was a firefighter so many years ago. Also it was weird because the base brought me back to my youth were I spent lots and lots of time on the base in Great Falls. It was really cool to have that feeling again. After we were done with Spangdhalem we meet up with Mo and went to Trier to walk around and look at ...

... were out in the city exploring.  To get out of Pfaffenthal, we had to climb a huge hill, and then cross over a bridge.  On the way, we found the Bock Casemates, which give some of the most amazing views of the city.   It was like we were looking down at Cinderella's Kingdom, it was so beautiful.  We spent the morning walking a long the casemates and the fortresses and exploring the Ville Basse (or Lower Village) of the city.  We found a gorgeous abbey, and ...

... spending one last night in Germany, then pushed on to cross the border. As luck would have it, camping in Luxembourg just ain't that great. There aren't as many wild places as there are in Germany. After a long, weary search I wound up in a branchy thicket adjacent to a small grazing ground on the leeside of some big factory. Not cool. But it was late, dark, and I was beat having clocked a personal best of 168 km. The next morning I ...

... Ma tegelt täitsa mõistan tema kahtlust, sest ma andsin talle närimiseks eestikeelse e-pileti, mille ta kõhklusega ikka vastu võttis.<br><br>Sõit möödus muidu vahesündmusteta, kui välja arvata selline seik, kus järsku hakkas kostuma kisa "Artur..Artur!". Tundus, nagu keegi hakkas telekast mingit Vene filmi vaatama, aga tegelt oli paanikas üks reisijamutt, kes togis oma vanameest ja paanitses. Põhjust oli ka, sest vanamees ei ärganud üles! Täpselt selline n ...

... Valley and the Grund District. We arrived at the Bock Promentory and toured the Bock Casemates. Interesting to walk through the tunnels and take in some views from the loopholes in the side of the promontory. Visited St.Michael's Church which was built in 927. We stopped for lunch in the Place d'Armes before continuing our walking tour from St.Michael's Church. We walked down to the Grund District for some pictures looking up at the ramparts and the Viaduct bridge ...

... 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!)
