The long boring road to Luxembourg
... the speed limit on most of the motorways here in Belgium but on average I was a slow coach compared to the rest of the vehicles on the road.
One thing I love about this kind of adventure is the freedom. My main plan is to head for Chur in the Swiss Alps and from there board the Glacier Express train to Zermatt and back but in all I have no set date or commitments of when to get there.

Pois é, fiquei mendigando foto e fiquei ...
Vianden in brief

Walked up to the top and took the chairlift down for spectacular views and Laura opened her eyes for the photos. Ice cream and sweet pastry ...
