Hello my fellow travellers! Me and Andreas started very early today to catch a train to Brussels where we'd switch to a train bound for Luxembourg. We were in luck as the ticket we bought yesterday was valid for the return trip as well. It was easy to find the international desk at the station in Brussels and the staff was more than helpful to get us our tickets and direct us to the right track. The ticket was 40 EUR and we had about 20 minutes of waiting so we went to a small café and picked up some baguettes for breakfast. The train ride was a nice and smooth experience even though we had some delay due to works on the tracks. The train between Belgium and Luxembourg has a high standard with fold-able ... read more

Luxemburg, 10. - 12. Mai 2014 Bei Sonnenschein und 20°C verliessen wir am Morgen Kehl am Rhein, in Richtung Luxemburg. Bis zum Mittagshalt meinte es Petrus gut mit uns, doch dann gab er dem Regenmacher das Zeichen „Regenschleusen auf“. Von da an lösten sich kurze Schauer mit Sonnenschein ab. Der Campingplatz „Bon Accueil“ in Alzingen liegt vor den Toren von Luxemburg. Dank unserer ACSI-Ermässigungskarte zahlen wir nur 14.- € pro Nacht. Der Empfang war, wie der Name des Platzes sagt, sehr freundlich und nett. Am Abend begann es dann heftig zu regnen und Stürmen. Zum Glück sassen wir im trockenen und warmen Wohnmobil. Am Morgen machten wir uns auf den Weg in die Stadt. Mit der Buslinie 192, welche vor dem Campingplatz hält, fuhren wir ins Zentrum. Am Royal Quai 1 stiegen wir aus und erkundeten ... read more

A long day of travel lay ahead. I bid farewell to Brussels as I walked the final steps to the train station. I made sure to grab some chocolate at the nearby supermarket. For three hours I viewed wonderful Belgian scenery as the train rode eastward. Eventually this scenery turned into Luxembourg. I can't say I knew very much about this incredibly small and landlocked country of less than five hundred thousand but my plan was to stop in for a few short hours, as an extended stay would be out of my budget. My train arrived into the central station and I decided to immediately buy an exit ticket, surprised at how much it would cost to get out. With all my gear in tow, I walked out of the station and into the beautiful ... read more

Luxembourg 2 November 2013 The day started with rain…..and a very soft, boggy campsite which was about 14 kms out of the city of Luxembourg. We (I) had parked on the grass as we had parked before we met Martin the owner of the park. Tom tried to drive it off the grass in the morning but after 2 gentle attempts to move the motor home, including me driving and Tom pushing, he decided to get some help. Two campers who arrived after us on the previous night had parked next to the entry of the park, on a hard surface, as they had been to this camping site before and knew that after the 1 November you don’t park on the grass because the area gets so much rain. One guy was from Belgium and ... read more

Heeey travellers what's up? Did you heard about Luxembourg? Maybe yes, maybe not. But that's very normal. Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world. If you cannot escape the wanderlust like me, and you don't have unlimited holidays, you will probably take your car and drive to the closest country. During the week I was thinking " hmm I never went to Luxembourg, why not this weekend". After driving for 2 hours, I parked my car at the free "park & ride" parking and took the bus to the centre. When you don't know the city, of course you will go directly to the "Tourist office" to get the free city map. The first monument that I visited was The Gëlle Fra war memorial which means "Golden Lady" or the ... read more
