Hotel des Ardennes Echternach

... area about 5 minutes outside of town that she takes the dogs to. It is a huge farm and there is a road that winds all the way around it. It took about an hour to walk the length of the road. The dogs love it. It was a bit chilly, especially when the wind was blowing. Conrad had to stop and feed some cows. It was fun to play with the dogs.<br><br>When we got back to the car, we went to see a waterfall. It was a ...

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.

... 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 ...

1st March... Content. That would be the apt word to describe my emotional state at present. I am at my temporary home in Luxembourg, finally. I am eating a kebab from the infamous shop on the corner. The chicken kebab is four euro and twice the size of the ones we have found abroad. Longest travel day. Best Western breakfast; eggs, cheese on rye bread and the best cappuccino of the trip. I had two. We walked around Pescara on a Domenica morning ...

... irritating. What happened was we were supposed to have gotten on bus 9 from gate 6, we had gotten on bus 111. So we rode the 110 bus back to a stop that would get us on a 9 bus. And again we waited for quite a while and when the 9 bus did come, it was packed full so we couldn't have fit on there with all our luggage. So we decided to try to walk to our hostel. This city was so different. Part of it was in a huge gully and the rest of it was up high around the gully ...

... lorraine (yes, real men do eat it) in a typically French cafe we wandered back down the steep hill to the riverside and into another section of well preserved 'old town'. The view from the Corniche of some very cute architecture lining the hillsides is well worth the effort and that, coupled with a very relaxed mood, inspired Karen to state that ...

... fort, built on top of another fort, built on top of another fort, built on top of another fort, I could keep going on, but I think you would get bored. Starting at the top, you walk and come to some casemates, which you enter and eventually you are at the bottom. Around four hours for a tour. It was good. We then found out that the countryside was littered with castles, so we circumnavigated the country looking at these, and then ...

Our family travelled to Luxembourg for a week for a work conference. Was it just me or was there a bank on every corner? I think the trip was quite expensive for my parents. <br>Assuming it was because there are so many languages spoken in ...
