Melia Luxembourg Luxembourg City

... 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.<br>

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.

... overlooking the town below. We ventured up the hill and took a tour of the castle, which has been painstakingly restored to it's original glory. The castle was in a complete state of ruin in the early 1900s after years of neglect. It was sold to the state in the 1970's and by 1987 it was restored. We have not been to many castles, but it is hard to imagine one that could beat Vianden. It is truly something out of a fairytale. We ate ...

... charge. See pictures. After this, we went on a tour of Lux City, the capitol city. Luxembourg City is a natural fortress, meaning that is built atop a great hill, and it is surrounded by rivers at the base of the hill. It's a very cute city, and is full of history. Luxembourg is the only remaining Grand Duchy in the world, and is ruled by a Grand Duke. We ...

... of the bloodiest battles in world history. Regardless, the monument left an indelible impression in my mind of the physical, cultural and emotional landscape of WWII, especially after seeing the surrounding fields and towns in which the desperate conflict occurred. Our quintessentially Dutch bus driver, Otto, took us south through the Belgian province of Luxembourg into the country of Luxembourg, arriving in the ...

... It was supposed to be until 5:30, which would have made a 10 hour day, but luckily our professor knew how long our day was and let us out an hour early. He also gave us notes on a power point slide, so it was a lot easier to take notes. Amber and I were excited to get out so early, so we could go shopping, because all of the stores close here at 6. We went back to wake Alina up because she took a nap instead of going to class. She was sleeping ...

<br>Esmakordselt on võimalus tutvuda paljukiidetud ja piltidelt maalilisena paistva Portugaaliaga :)<br><br>Alguses kartsime, et äkki on nädal liiga lühike, et saada piisav ülevaade Portugalist, aga õnneks on märts ja 8 päeva just täiesti paras, sest tegemist on siiski ühe väikse riigiga, mille mõõdud on kõigest 560x220 km.<br><br>Ryan Air on nagu ikka Ryan Air, maksimaalselt võib seal pingil ühes asendis istuda 3h, peale seda läheks juba väljakannatamatuks. Low budget väljendub neil ka ...

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 ...

... 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.
