Blogs from Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, Europe - page 5

An overnight train to Paris, a morning train to Metz, and an afternoon train to Luxembourg had us arriving in Luxembourg City around 1:30pm. We got to our hotel and sat down while waiting to check in when we heard a man yelling outside, next a man Usain Bolt style sprinted past while the older gentleman ran behind him, he had been mugged. Hmmm... Not the best first impression of Luxembourg or the area that we were staying in. We were in desperate need of showers after the extremely sweaty day before in Toulouse followed by a long night and day on trains, so we grabbed a quick kabob and falafel to eat and headed back to the hotel for showers. We got in on a Sunday meaning that the entire city is shut down for ... read more

Not a bad nights sleep. The few motor homes (two of us) were very quiet and the locals in the their beach huts spent the night quietly. The bells were on curfue after dark The only noise came from the unruly ducks who made such a noise all night probably mating and sleeping the day off quietly. And the sound of the trains thundering through the station in the town. I don’t know if the train stopped at Berges and if it did where it came from or went to. There was however a bus station next door which looked well used. We did not get any chance to update blogs as there was no WiFi on the site. Our French Toggle phone worked once we had changed the phone number to a French one. A ... read more

I have never been one to go to a country to just tick it off the list but for the first time I did it. I had no real interest in coming here but since I was around the area I thought what happens if somewhere down the track I have one country left to see and I have to travel all the way from Australia to see it. I was in Germany Trier, which is an ideal place to stay overnight and do a half day trip in both places. Trier and the small European country Luxemburg. Trier was briefly the capital of the Western Roman Empire and was the most important Roman city north of the Alps. Because of this location it provides a chance to see Roman ruins in a different light and ... read more

A few people had talked to me about my planned trip to Luxembourg and had made the comment that “…everywhere in Luxembourg is hilly…” but it still took me by surprise when I arrived to see the valleys and mountains that appear to make up Luxembourg. Given that it is one of the smallest countries in Europe it sure does have a lot of damn hills!!! Leaving the train station Luxembourg looked like a normal city and then the bus headed over a bridge and suddenly you could see just how high up you were and just how low down some of those houses were. Luxembourg was really easy to get around on foot (provided you were fit!) and I found that I had visited many of the key attractions on my first day. What this ... read more
