On day 8 we awoke in beautiful vianden, Luxemburg with the intention of exploring its famous chateu de Vianden. After breakfast at the hotel (where mum and i ate a trayfull of mini crossionts and i made myself sum lunch and made mum sneak it out) we set off for the castle.

Dear Family and friends, Welcome to the travel blog of Deb and Kels (with kels doing all the blogging work) as we travel to three countries within Europe - Holland, Germany and France. Hopefully this blog will be updated daily with tales of our travels and any half decent photos of ourselves. As of now, we are seated at the dining table at Opa and Oma Riet's in Bemmel, having a glass of wine. We arrived today, leaving from perth at four pm and flying to singapore (5.5 hours) and then singapore to Amsterdam (15 hours with a very bumpy ride - mum was scared, lol, i was asleep). Robert, mums brother, picked us up from the airport at 7:30am local time and drove us to Bemmel (again i was asleep). The aeroplane food was exciting, ... read more
