After a really cold morning we left La Roche heading towards Luxembourg City. via Vianden, a nice town on another river. It had a good looking castle (sorry...Chateau, as we are now in French speaking part of Belgium) but we didn't go in as we couldn't be bothered. Looks like travel apathy starting to set in.
Had for lunch, (what is currently in our top 5 snacks) a fantastic pork-veal mince sausage and onion kebab which was deep fried and then covered in this tomato-BBQ sauce which was delicious. Add to that world class 'frites' and we had it made.
Ended the day arriving in Luxembourg City which was OK but won't get another visit in a hurry. It’s hard for some areas to compete when they are surrounded by so many fantastic areas around them.
Just for the record, Belgium and Luxembourg have some great food, great sites and fantastic beer to choose from, not to mention some pretty damn good chocolate. I have already decided that I am going to fill up the car with what is so far my favourite beer, when we pass through on the way back to UK. Anyone interested - its Leffe, brewed by monks in a traditional way.
