... 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.

... to see Ashley and have Thanksgiving with her and her husband. Another one of my good friends, Jessica Cavazos's, younger sister happened to be in the area so she came out for the event as well. I'm not sure that her original plan included coming to Luxembourg (or Belgium which is the country that I'm actually in although I can see the border from the window) but when she arrived in Paris last week she immediately fell down a flight of stairs and broke ...

... 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.

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.

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 ...

Luxembourg is the capital of Grand Duchy. After a 5-day tour in 3 countries (Germany, Strasbourg & Luxembourg) with my relatives, we had a coffee break in Luxembourg. A picturesque & historical city, we visited Bock Promontory. History said that this fortress was acquired by Siegfried, Count of Ardenne, in 963, which is now the cradle of the city of Luxembourg. We really had a wonderful break . How i missed the city... I wish to visit this beautiful city soon.

... over the ages, with the Burgundians, Spanish, French, Austrians and Prussians laying seige to it at various times - often destroying it in the process. The resulting fortification improvements earned it a reputation more recently as the 'Gibraltar of the north'. You can see why - its a pretty place of gorges and bridges and neat buildings built ...

... lunch. By 11pm I was at "the spot" and loving it. No hesitation, no scepticism. I was going to pull this mission off. By 2 AM all that had changed. Day one had yielded only 25 of my required 66.6 points per day and it was looking like day two wasn't giving me any. Then it dawned upon me that my chances of finding somewhere to stay in sleepy Luxembourg at 2AM were slim. Enter OPERATION HOMELESS. I didn't have much choice. I found a cosy little bench in a dark, out of the ...

... 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.
