International Hotel Clervaux

... 8221; which rather confused the German. He had to ask if that was a positive or negative reply, and was assured it was definitely negative. And the Americans held out in the coldest winter weather on record, until relieved. It is an inspiring story of valor and perseverance. I never tire of walking around Bastogne and thinking about what happened there.

I had a pizza for dinner and came back to my room fairly early to get some work done on my laptop. Tomorrow will be another busy day.

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.

The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due.

We were on the road by 10 am, just as planned. Traffic is a bit heavier than we would like, but you work with what you're handed. It’s supposed to take about 6 hours to get to Luxembourg. We’ll see how it progresses.

We passed through Belgium at 1:15 pm. We passed through Luxembourg at 2:15 pm. We stopped along the way to have some lunch at 3 pm because I was very hungry. It was a very small town ...

... researched dioramas, which are all based on oral history records and available photographs or other authentic historical materials. Countless interviews made with veterans and eye witnesses of the three sides thus enabled factual historical accuracy and balanced objectivity. " The museum is not an institution to tear up scarred wounds from W.W.II; it is a lively lesson of history that brings people together and makes them think and reflect on those tragic events to identify ...

We woke up in Aachen this morning and decided to drive through the back roads to Belgium and pay a visit to Bastonge, were thousands of soldiers as ell as civilians died during WWII's Battle of the Bulge. The only real reminders are a Sherman Tank sitting in the middle of town and and the memorial ...

... I'm a fan of. Cute little villages like those that I've been to in Switzerland but lacking that little bit extra in presentation.

I only got to see a few towns in Luxembourg but there is certainly a lot more to explore. I highly recommend the wine district that runs along the border with Germany.

... Jenny, Katie, and I went back to Lux City because we were DONE WITH ORIENTATION!! That was a happy thing. We planned on going to dinner and a movie (there's a GINORMAMUNGOUS movie theater in the city). We decided we weren't that hungry, so we just wanted to get some dessert. Everything has really weird hours here, so even though it was only 8:30 we couldn't find anywhere that was open and served dessert. We finally found something. It was a slightly ritzy restaurant named Bella Napoli ...

We finally arrived to Wittlitch and my sister's car was in the parking lot waiting for us. We drove into Bitburg and had a nice German meal. After dinner we drove back to her house to meet the neighbors, watch some TV and then off to bed.

I woke up at 5:20am, packed my bag, and ate some breakfast. My sister drove me to my train stop and I waited for my train to arrive. It was mostly full of kids going to school.

Korraks sai shoppingutuuri käigus ära käidud ka Belgias. IKEA üritas oma monstrumpoodi esialgu Luxembourgi suruda, aga sealse butiigipidajate rõõmuks see ei õnnestunud. Nagu kiusteks ehitati pood täpselt Luxi piiri taha, Belgia poolele. Nüüdseks on Luxi kauplemisseaduseid ümber tehtud, lausa IKEA suguste kasuks, ent enam see ei loe, sest Luxikad peavad ikkagi oma IKEAs ...

... that the museum was really interesting, filled with nic naks from the war. It had a castle overlooking the city with the last surviving tank that defended the city from the Germans. And the nic naks in the museum, we'll there are a few gems in there. Must admit I was quite sickened by the pictures of the hung German commanders. I had never seen these pictures before, and the write up in the ...
